Estimating Public Knowledge About Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) and Alternative Treatments.
Article in Behavioral sleep medicine. 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
objectivesThis study assessed public knowledge about insomnia treatments, particularly Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), and examined whether familiarity varied by gender or race. The primary aim was to quantify what proportion of adults in the United States are familiar with and use CBT-I.
methodsA nationally representative sample of 3080 U.S. adults (
resultsParticipants were substantially more familiar with pharmacological treatments than behavioral therapies, with notably low recognition of CBT-I. Treatment utilization patterns supported that people tend to have a greater reliance on pharmacological interventions, particularly over-the-counter options, than CBT-I. Demographic differences emerged, with women and White participants reporting greater awareness of insomnia treatments than men and individuals from other racial groups. Age related differences were also observed, though, these varied by treatment approach.
conclusionsThis study identified major gaps in public awareness of CBT-I and highlighted disparities in treatment knowledge. Addressing these gaps is critical for improving treatment access and promoting CBT-I as a first-line, evidence-based treatment for insomnia.
