A guided internet-delivered mindfulness-based cognitive therapy for insomnia: study protocol for a randomized controlled study.

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
Background: Chronic insomnia disorder (CID) is highly prevalent and impacts individuals' physiological, psychological and social functions. Although cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is the recommended first-line treatment option for CID, approximately 20% of patients still exhibit limited effectiveness. The literature has shown that mindfulness can benefit CBT-I protocols and that mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) is effective in treating insomnia. However, the effectiveness of therapist-guided internet-based MBCT-I (iMBCT-I) has not yet been tested. Objective: This study protocol aims to evaluate the effect of therapist-guided iMBCT-I on chronic insomnia among Chinese adults. Methods: This will be a two-armed, parallel group, randomized controlled study with 80 CID patients. The participants will be randomized to either the iMBCT-I program or the sleep hygiene education (SHE) program at an allocation ratio of 1:1 via simple randomization. Assessments will be carried out at baseline, at the end of the intervention (week 8) and at the follow-up time (week 20). The primary outcome was insomnia severity at week 8. Statistical analyses will follow the intention-to-treat (ITT) principle. Discussion: This is the first study to investigate the effectiveness of therapist-guided iMBCT-I in CID patients. Should it be effective, this study will provide evidence for clinical practitioners, therapists and patients to consider a new psychotherapeutic option and for technicians to perform self-guided iMBCT-I applications in the future.
