Sleep Interventions and the Prevention of Pediatric Anxiety: A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in Current psychiatry reports, 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
purpose of reviewAnxiety disorders are prevalent in children, adolescents, and young adults. As many youth either do not receive adequate intervention or do not achieve remission, prevention of anxiety disorders is a public health priority. Sleep problems are a modifiable risk factor that precedes anxiety. This systematic review includes recent pediatric sleep interventions and anxiety outcomes, and introduces anxiety sensitivity as an understudied mechanism. RECENT
findingsIn 21 intervention and experimental studies, sleep intervention reduced anxiety symptoms/disorders and the onset of anxiety disorders. Three additional recent studies examined anxiety sensitivity in the relationship between sleep problems and anxiety, supporting the inclusion of anxiety sensitivity in future research studies. Sleep health is a scalable, accessible target for reducing anxiety and is an important part of pediatric anxiety prevention. Sleep treatments can be brief and implemented in psychiatric practice. Future research studies should consider anxiety sensitivity as a potential mechanism.
