Effectiveness of nonpharmacological sleep interventions in pregnancy: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Journal of clinical sleep medicine : JCSM : official publication of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, 2025. 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
STUDY
objectivesSleep problems are common during pregnancy. Maintaining good sleep is critical to maternal and fetal health. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of nonpharmacological interventions in improving sleep quality and duration during pregnancy, using objective and self-reported sleep measures.
methodsThis meta-analysis was conducted ensuring adherence with the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis guidelines. We systematically searched 5 major electronic databases, PubMed, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane. Only randomized-control trials of nonpharmacological interventions to improve sleep in pregnancy were included. We used random or fixed effect models and pooled estimates as standardized mean differences with 95% confidence intervals. Funnel plots and sensitivity analysis were used to assess publication bias and result robustness.
resultsA total of 31 studies (n = 3,307) were included. Meta-analysis revealed that nonpharmacological interventions significantly improved self-reported overall sleep quality (standardized mean difference = -0.99; 95% confidence interval = -1.40, -0.58; I
conclusionsNonpharmacological interventions can improve self-reported sleep quality in pregnant females. Clinicians can tailor interventions based on pregnancy period and individual needs to manage their sleep disturbances. CITATION: Chen P, Wang Y, Yuan J, et al.
