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

objectiveAlcohol and cannabis are commonly used as sleep aids that inadvertently perpetuate symptoms of insomnia over time, but substance use is not a standard component of sleep assessments. This pre-registered study aimed to expand the validity and clinical utility of the Dysfunctional Beliefs about Sleep Scale (DBAS) by incorporating substance use expectancies for sleep.

methodAfter using cognitive interviewing to improve the content validity of items (

resultsThe final set of 11 items was best represented by two factors (9 sleep and 2 substance use items;

conclusionsThe substance use version of the DBAS (DBAS-S) is a brief, reliable, and valid measure of dysfunctional sleep beliefs and substance use expectancies that will improve clinical practice by flagging substance use as a potential contributor to insomnia for clinicians.
