Effectiveness of a cognitive-behavioral sleep hygiene intervention for adolescents with ADHD: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in European child & adolescent psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. It is linked to trial NCT04723719 (SIESTA Sleep IntervEntion as Symptom Treatment for ADHD - Blended CBT Sleep Intervention to Improve Sleep, ADHD Symptoms and Related Problems in Adolescents With ADHD), which is not on this map.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it

Abstract
objectiveSleep problems are frequent and impairing in adolescents with ADHD. This randomized controlled trial investigates the effectiveness of a newly developed CBT sleep hygiene intervention for adolescents with ADHD - SIESTA.
methodAdolescents with ADHD and sleep problems (N = 92, M
resultsResults indicated significant improvement in SIESTA+TAU compared to TAU from pre- to post-test on sleep hygiene ([Formula: see text] =.21), chronic sleep reduction ([Formula: see text] =.15), and sleep-wake problem behaviors ([Formula: see text] =.05). Actigraphy and sleep diaries showed no significant differences, with both groups improving on sleep diaries. The improvements in sleep hygiene were maintained at follow-up ([Formula: see text] =.09). Of secondary outcomes, depressive symptoms reduced significantly more from pre- to post-test in SIESTA+TAU than in TAU only ([Formula: see text] =.09).
conclusionsThis study indicates that SIESTA is effective at improving sleep hygiene, perceived sleep problems, and depressive symptoms in adolescents with ADHD. However, to maintain long-term effects, booster sessions may be beneficial.
