1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of virtual, small-group cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) in patients with gynecologic cancers. Methods: Patients with gynecologic cancers were recruited to participate in a weekly, online, small-group CBT-I program. Eligible participants were ≥ 18 years old, English-speaking, had access to the internet, had moderate-severe insomnia (Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) score of ≥15), and were not taking prescription sleep medications. Feasibility was assessed by attendance, internet connectivity, and participation. An acceptability survey was administered at the end of each session. Exploratory endpoints included quality of life and insomnia symptoms. Participants tracked sleep outcomes using the Insomnia Coach Explorer. Follow-up assessments were completed 4, 12, and 24 weeks following program completion. Results: Five participants were recruited and four completed the intervention. 60% of participants attended four or more sessions. Internet connectivity, participation, and acceptability met the predefined benchmarks for feasibility. Compared to a baseline score of 18, mean ISI scores decreased by more than 6 points by week 6 (10.81, 95% CI: 7.12-14.5, Conclusions: Virtual, small-group CBT-I is a feasible and acceptable strategy for patients with gynecologic cancers to manage insomnia. Implementation of this intervention may also help expand access to evidence-based treatment for insomnia.
