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
Background: Insomnia is highly prevalent among adolescents. It is associated with various mental and physical disorders and impairments in daytime functioning. Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is well supported by evidence and the guideline recommended treatment. Yet only few adolescents receive access due to limited health care resources. Digital delivery of CBT-I may tackle this care gap and has shown promising results in the adult population. However, evidence in the adolescent population is still preliminary. The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to establish whether digitally delivered CBT-I for insomnia is effective in adolescents, when compared to sleep hygiene advice. Methods: This trial is a monocentric, national, prospective randomized controlled trial aiming to recruit 66 adolescent participants (14-17 years) meeting criteria for insomnia disorder in Germany. Participants will be randomized (1:1) to either 12 weeks of digital CBT-I ( Discussion: The results of this study could make the case for the introduction of digital CBT-I for adolescents in primary care in Germany, increasing access to evidence-based treatment for adolescents with insomnia disorder. Treating insomnia might also positively affect associated mental disorders and physical health problems.
