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

This study explored the reliability and validity of the Korean version of the Insomnia Catastrophizing Scale (ICS) for assessing catastrophic thoughts related to sleep, shedding light on one of the key cognitive dimensions of insomnia, among the general Korean population. The study analyzed secondary data from 399 participants who completed an online survey conducted during September 26-30, 2022. The survey contained various rating scales, namely, the ICS, Dysfunctional Beliefs and Attitudes about Sleep-16, Glasgow Sleep Effort Scale, Dysfunctional Beliefs about Sleep-2, Insomnia Severity Index, and Patient Health Questionnaire-9. Among the participants, 51.1% were male, with 13.3% reporting past psychiatric symptoms and 12.3%, current psychologic distress. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the construct validity of both the nighttime (ICS-N) and daytime (ICS-D) subscales, with good model fits observed. Item response theory analysis indicated strong discrimination ability for both scales. Cronbach's alphas showed the reliability of internal consistency for ICS-N (alpha = 0.950) and ICS-D (alpha = 0.961). The Korean version of the ICS, including both subscales, demonstrated reliability and validity in assessing sleep-related catastrophic thoughts among the general Korean population.
