Treatment of insomnia associated with alcohol and opioid use: a narrative review.
Review in Sleep and biological rhythms, 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
Substance use disorders (SUDs) are associated with profound sleep disturbances, including insomnia, sleep fragmentation, and circadian rhythm dysfunction resulting in serious mental and physical consequences. This minireview presents an overview of the neurocircuitry underlying sleep disturbances in SUDs and elaborates on treatment options with emphasis on alcohol use disorder (AUD) and opioid use disorder (OUD). A PubMed, Embase, CINAHL Plus, Cochrane, and Scopus search were conducted using sleep- and AUD/OUD related keywords from January 1st, 2000, to January 31st, 2023, with preferences for recent publications and randomized-controlled trials. A bidirectional relationship exists between insomnia and addiction with the status of each condition impacting the other in dictating clinical outcome. Existing evidence points to a resurgence of insomnia during detoxification, and unless treated satisfactorily, insomnia may lead to relapse. The discussion summarizes the strengths and limitations of cognitive behavioral therapy and pharmacological treatment for insomnia in SUDs covering evidence from both animal and clinical studies. The assumption of reestablishing normal sleep patterns by attaining and maintaining sobriety is misguided. Comorbid insomnia in patients with SUDs should be approached as an independent condition that requires its own treatment. Future clinical trials are needed with the aim of providing a resource for guiding clinical management of the many patients with insomnia and SUD.
