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
Insomnia is a prevalent and debilitating sleep-wake disorder, with growing evidence indicating that it is an independent risk factor for suicidal ideation and behaviors. Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia is the recommended first-line treatment for chronic insomnia. However, its effect on suicidal ideation and behaviors in those with insomnia has not been well-characterized. Thus, the aim of the planned meta-analysis is to quantify the effects of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia on suicidal ideation, suicidal behaviors, and suicide deaths in adults with insomnia with and without comorbidities. This study will include randomized controlled trials comparing cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia with a control condition with no presumed strong effect on insomnia in individuals with insomnia according to standardized diagnostic criteria or a clinically relevant screening score. Both published and unpublished randomized controlled trials will be retrieved through a systematic search in major databases and trial registries. The primary outcomes include suicidal ideation, suicidal behaviors, and suicide deaths, assessed post-treatment and at follow-ups. We will only consider randomized controlled trials reporting suicide-related outcomes and/or enrolling participants with suicidal ideation or behaviors. For continuous data, a random-effects meta-analysis will be conducted to estimate (standardized) mean differences. In the case of categorical data, a random-effects logistic regression meta-analysis model will be used. The risk of bias of the primary outcomes will be evaluated using the Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 tool. The certainty of evidence will be assessed using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation framework.
