User Experiences and Effects of Expert-Led YouTube Mind-Body Interventions on Insomniacs: A Survey Study.
Article in Journal of Korean medical science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundBehavioral and psychological therapies have been shown to be beneficial in insomnia treatment. YouTube, a video-based social media platform, has become the most widely used platform and is easily accessible to everyone. Therefore, this study investigated the effects of expert-led YouTube-delivered mind-body interventions (MBIs), including mindfulness, breathwork, and mental imagery, on sleep disturbance and user satisfaction.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed data from 411 users of expert-led YouTube-delivered MBIs who completed a questionnaire from November 20 to 27, 2021. The content of the videos had multicomponent approaches, including education on sleep hygiene and MBIs.
resultsParticipants were mostly females (86.6%) and individuals in their 20s (59.1%). Most of the participants complained of difficulty falling asleep (91%), and 55.2% reported experiencing non-restorative sleep. After YouTube-delivered MBIs, significant improvements in sleep-onset latency, sleep maintenance, sleep quality, daytime dysfunction, and difficulty waking up in the morning (
conclusionThis survey showed the effectiveness of YouTube-delivered MBIs developed by experts. The accessibility advantage of YouTube as a social media platform was effectively used, highlighting the need for future research to explore its practical applications in clinical settings.
