1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

CBT-i Coach is a free, publicly available mobile health application (app) that provides users with the core intervention components of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-i). By making these components directly accessible to users, CBT-i Coach potentially circumvents barriers to accessing CBT-i, such as a scarcity of and lack of referral to trained providers. It may also serve a preventative function by helping address sleep disruption before it reaches clinical levels. However, no study to date has investigated the potential effectiveness of CBT-i Coach for either of these two purposes in public, naturalistic use. This study observed public CBT-i Coach use over an 18-month period to investigate whether users reporting either clinical or subclinical insomnia symptoms (
