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
objectiveAlthough cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is the first-line treatment for chronic insomnia, pharmacological treatment remains common in clinical practice. This study aimed to examine factors associated with favorable attitudes toward hypnotic use in patients with insomnia and to investigate whether suicidality mediates this relationship.
methodsAn online survey was conducted during June 18-25, 2025. We collected the demographic information of 548 individuals currently experiencing insomnia and their responses to questionnaires including sleep indices, the discrepancy between desired time in bed and desired total sleep time (DBST) index, attitude toward hypnotic use, the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Dysfunctional Beliefs and Attitudes about Sleep-16 (DBAS-16), and Depressive Symptoms Inventory-Suicidality Scale (DSI-SS). Logistic regression and Pearson's correlation were performed to explore the factors contributing to favorable attitudes toward hypnotic use. Mediation analysis was implemented.
resultsLogistic regression analysis adjusted for age and sex revealed that longer time in bed per day (odds ratio [OR] = 1.06, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.001-0.12, p = 0.046) and higher scores on the DSI-SS (OR = 1.09, 95% CI = 0.01-0.16, p = 0.037) were significantly associated with favorable attitudes toward hypnotic use. Mediation analysis indicated that suicidality mediated the relationship between the insomnia severity and favorable attitudes toward hypnotics.
conclusionSuicidality mediates the association between insomnia severity and favorable attitudes toward hypnotic use, suggesting it may be a relevant psychological factor in this relationship.
