Exploring the Experiences of Cancer Patients Following an Internet-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia With Professional Phone Guidance: The Sleep-4-All-2.0 Study.
Article in Psycho-oncology, 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
backgroundSleep problems affect 30%-95% of cancer patients. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia is recognized as the most effective treatment for insomnia. However, implementing it is challenging due to a lack of time, human resources, and financial support. Internet-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (ICBT-I) is appreciated by patients, but it lacks professional guidance.
aimsThe Sleep-4-All-2.0 study combined a validated ICBT-I program, lasting 6-12 weeks, with up to four individual, phone-based ICBT-I psychology sessions. The current study sought to explore patients' experiences of the program, focusing on their perceptions of the professional guidance.
methodsCancer patients from three different hospitals were interviewed. Out of their discourse, a thematic analysis was conducted.
results48 patients were included. Three themes were constructed: (1) Coping with the program, (2) Connections at play (professionals, family, patients, sleep interactions), (3) Benefits and limits of psychological guidance. Although most participants were delighted with the program and the guidance, they encountered numerous difficulties due to personal and external issues, as well as the demands of CBT. Participants highlighted the need to be connected to other patients, supported by their families, and to receive well-informed care from healthcare professionals (HCP). The phone guidance was important for pragmatic and motivational reasons.
conclusionIn order to improve program follow-up, clinicians should work beforehand to adjust expectations and take into account the specific vulnerabilities of certain patients.
