Development of a scale for measuring orthosomnia: the Bergen Orthosomnia Scale (BOS).
Article in Frontiers in sleep, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction: This study aimed to extend the knowledge about orthosomnia, that is, excessive preoccupation with sleep, by developing a scale for its assessment. Methods: In Study 1, an initial item pool was presented to 34 sleep experts for assessment using the Delphi method. In Study 2, relevant items were administered to 994 survey respondents (mean age = 42 years, Results: The two-factor model demonstrated acceptable fit (root mean square of approximation = 0.07, comparative fit index = 0.96, Tucker-Lewis Index = 0.95) with Cronbach's alphas of 0.87 and 0.88, and 3-week test-retest reliability of 0.74 and 0.82, respectively. Both orthosomnia factors correlated positively with sleep effort, dysfunctional beliefs and attitudes about sleep, narcissism, perfectionism, OCD, and health anxiety. The interference factor correlated positively with insomnia, neuroticism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism and negatively with conscientiousness. The rigidity factor correlated positively with conscientiousness. Conclusion: The new scale for assessing orthosomnia possesses good psychometric properties and provides clinicians and researchers with an instrument for further investigating this new sleep construct.
