Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia to reduce cannabis use: Results from a pilot randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Drug and alcohol dependence, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
backgroundIndividuals with regular cannabis use demonstrate adverse health outcomes, yet infrequently seek treatment. Insomnia, a common co-occurring complaint, could be targeted to reduce cannabis use and improve functioning in these individuals. In an intervention development study, we refined and tested the preliminary efficacy of a telemedicine-delivered CBT for insomnia tailored to individuals with regular cannabis use for sleep (CBTi-CB-TM).
methodsIn this single-blind randomized trial, fifty-seven adults (43 women, mean age 37.6 ± 12.8 years) with chronic insomnia and cannabis use for sleep ≥3 times/week received CBTi-CB-TM (n = 30) or sleep hygiene education (SHE-TM, n = 27). Participants completed self-reported assessments of insomnia (Insomnia Severity Index [ISI]) and cannabis use (Timeline Followback [TLFB] and daily diary data) at pre-treatment, post-treatment, and 8-week follow-up.
resultsISI scores improved significantly more in the CBTi-CB-TM compared to SHE-TM condition (β = -2.83, se=0.84, P = 0.004, d=0.81). At 8-week follow-up, 18/30 (60.0 %) CBTi-CB-TM compared to 4/27 (14.8 %) SHE-TM participants were in remission from insomnia (X
conclusionsCBTi-CB-TM is feasible, acceptable, and demonstrated preliminary efficacy for improving sleep and cannabis-related outcomes among non-treatment-seeking individuals with regular cannabis use for sleep. Although sample characteristics limit generalizability, these findings support the need for adequately powered randomized controlled trials with longer follow-up periods.
