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

Introduction: This study was undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of implementing a brief community-based sleep education intervention within a collaborative clinical in academic medical setting for children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Methods: Record reviews were conducted from a behavioral sleep clinic serving children with IDD (age ≤ 18 years). Sixty-five children and caregiver received individualized insomnia recommendations. A follow-up visit occurred 1-3 months later. Clinical notes were evaluated using a modified Pediatric Sleep and Autism Clinical Global Impressions Scale to assess effectiveness and feasibility. Results: At first follow-up, 85% of caregivers reported compliance with recommendations; 85% of whom reported significant sleep improvement. Only 20% of non-compliant families reported improvement. Compliance at first follow-up was significantly associated with improvement in insomnia (Pearson chi-square and Fisher's exact test Conclusion: Brief collaborative sleep education interventions are feasible and effective for improving insomnia in most children with IDD.
