How is cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia delivered to adults with comorbid persistent musculoskeletal pain and disordered sleep? A scoping review.
Article in PloS one, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundDisordered sleep and persistent musculoskeletal pain are highly comorbid. Behavioural interventions such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) have shown promise in the management of both disordered sleep and persistent musculoskeletal pain. The aim of this review was to examine how CBT-I is delivered in randomised controlled trials involving people with comorbid disordered sleep and persistent musculoskeletal pain.
methodsThe protocol for this scoping review was registered with the Open Science Framework. Electronic searches of ten database and three clinical trials registries were performed up to 25 October 2023. The methodological quality of each study was evaluated by two independent reviewers using the PEDro tool. The reporting of CBT-I interventions was evaluated using the Template for Intervention Description and Replication (TIDieR) checklist.
resultsTwelve studies met the eligibility criteria. TIDieR scores ranged from 7-11/12, with a mean score of 8.8/12. CBT-I always involved two core components-sleep restriction and stimulus control. Furthermore, an additional five components were usually involved-a cognitive component, sleep hygiene, sleep education, relaxation/deactivation procedures and relapse planning. There was also considerable consistency in the frequency (weekly) and duration (5-9 weeks) of CBT-I programmes. Aspects inconsistently reported included who delivered the intervention; what modifications were made, if any; and the session content and duration. PEDro scores ranged from 5-8/10, with a mean score of 6.7/10.
conclusionsThese findings demonstrate considerable consistency in the components of CBT-I delivered in clinical trials along with the number of sessions. The frequency of sessions was also consistent where almost all studies held weekly session. However, some aspects were either not reported (e.g., precise content of components) or inconsistent (e.g., use of terminology). CBT-I was delivered both individually and in groups. Greater consistency, and more detailed reporting regarding who delivered the intervention, the training provided, and the specific content of CBT-I components would add clarity, and may enhance CBT-I efficacy and allow better replication.
