Practical tips for paediatricians: implementing cognitive behavioural therapy for adolescent insomnia.
Article in Paediatrics & child health, 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
Insomnia, a sleep condition defined as persistent difficulties initiating or maintaining sleep, affects up to 40% of adolescents, with most continuing to experience symptoms once they begin. It is linked with mood disturbance, academic impairment, fatigue, and reduced quality of life. Despite its significance, few adolescents seek care on their own, and parents frequently underestimate the issue, highlighting the importance of pediatricians in early detection and treatment. Insomnia must be distinguished from delayed sleep-wake phase disorder (DSWPD), a circadian rhythm condition presenting similar complaints but requiring different treatments. Cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is the first-line treatment recommended for adults and increasingly supported in adolescents. CBT-I integrates behavioural and cognitive strategies to target perpetuating factors and has demonstrated meaningful, durable improvements in sleep outcomes. CBT-I can be delivered in groups, individually, or digitally. Pediatricians can direct access to suitable interventions and offer families guidance on core sleep principles.
