The Effect of Behavioral Sleep Interventions on Measures of Obesity, Dietary Intake and Physical Activity in Adults With Poor Sleep Health: A Systematic Review, Meta-Analysis and Meta-Regression Analysis.

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
backgroundAs poor sleep negatively impacts on adiposity, there is interest in examining whether improving sleep can improve adiposity markers. We reviewed studies aimed at improving sleep using (1) cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) and/or sleep hygiene and (2) sleep extension on adiposity markers, dietary intake, and physical activity.
methodsLiterature searches were performed on MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library. We included studies featuring adults ≥ 18 years without OSA, a sleep intervention as well as preintervention and postintervention measures.
resultsFrom a total of 27 studies, 25 were used in the meta-analyses. Using CBT-I and/or sleep hygiene in eight studies (n = 1384) led to significant BMI reductions averaging 0.64 kg/m
conclusionAddressing poor sleep health through using sleep interventions has the potential to be integrated into obesity management programs, alongside current lifestyle strategies. PROSPERO IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: CRD42025644060.
