Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia in Postpartum Depression: A Meta-Analysis of Therapeutic Outcomes and Barriers to Clinical Use.
Review in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is the first-line treatment for insomnia in the general population and pregnant women. However, its effects on postpartum depression remain underexplored. Objectives of this meta-analytic review were to evaluate the effects of CBT-I on postpartum depression, insomnia severity, and total sleep time in perinatal women. PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar databases were searched. Randomized controlled trials with perinatal women, CBT-I as intervention, and comparison with any other intervention were included. Bias was evaluated using the Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 (RoB 2) tool. Four studies were deemed eligible, with a combined sample size of 381 participants. Insomnia severity, postpartum depression, and total sleep time were selected as outcomes. Mean differences were calculated with 95% confidence interval (CI), and heterogeneity was assessed using
