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

backgroundInsomnia symptoms during the perinatal period are prevalent and may contribute to negative mental health and birthing outcomes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is a non-pharmacological therapy efficacious in the treatment of insomnia. Previous studies have shown the effectiveness of digital CBT-I during the perinatal period. However, to date, our understanding of whether this treatment can be effectively implemented in community perinatal care is limited.

methodsIn this two-arm hybrid effectiveness-implementation type 1 randomised controlled trial (RCT), eligible pregnant individuals with self-reported insomnia symptoms (Insomnia Severity Index > 7) will be randomised to either the CBT-I intervention (Healthy Sleep Program) or active control (sleep hygiene education). The primary outcome is maternal insomnia symptom severity at (i) one pregnancy endpoint and (ii) averaged across three times post birth for the postpartum endpoint. An economic evaluation will assess cost-effectiveness. Barriers and enablers to sustained implementation will be explored using the Theoretical Domains Framework and the Practical Robust Implementation and Sustainability Model. DISCUSSION: This study will offer an understanding of the effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, and sustained implementation potential of a digital sleep health program in perinatal care. These outcomes will provide empirical evidence to inform broader implementation of a scalable sleep program to improve insomnia symptoms in perinatal populations.
