Physicians' awareness of non-pharmacological therapies for insomnia in the Czech Republic.
Article in Croatian medical journal, 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
aimTo assess general practitioners' (GP) awareness, attitudes, and practices related to non-pharmacological treatments for insomnia.
methodsA cross-sectional online survey was conducted between January and June 2024 among 100 general practitioners across urban and rural regions of the Czech Republic. The questionnaire assessed GPs' awareness, attitudes, and practices related to non-pharmacological treatments for insomnia.
resultsMost GPs (85%) reported using non-pharmacological approaches as the initial treatment, primarily sleep hygiene education (64%). Only 28% were familiar with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia, and fewer used structured diagnostic tools such as sleep diaries or validated scales. Hypnotics overuse was reported by 81% of respondents. Urban GPs were more likely to refer patients to sleep specialists and showed greater confidence in non-drug management. Patient interest in non-pharmacological therapies was moderate (31%), and adherence was influenced by the quality of the doctor-patient relationship.
conclusionWhile Czech GPs are aware of non-pharmacological treatment options for insomnia, actual implementation - especially of CBT-I and diagnostic tools - is limited. Targeted training and better access to behavioral treatment resources could improve insomnia management in primary care and reduce reliance on pharmacological interventions.
