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

Introduction: Youth with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD) frequently experience behaviors of concern (BoC), such as aggression or self-injury, often exacerbated by sleep disturbances. Sleep education can improve sleep in pediatric populations, but existing interventions rarely fit into routine clinical care for families managing these behaviors. As such, effective programs often fail to reach those who need them the most. Objective: To co-design Nova Sleepcare, an in-clinic, physician-delivered sleep education program, by identifying barriers and facilitators to its use among end-users (youth with NDDs, caregivers, and pediatricians). Methods: A prototype of Nova Sleepcare, based on clinical guidelines and evidence-based behavioral strategies, was iteratively refined through open-ended interviews with 24 end-users (8 youth, 9 caregivers, 7 pediatricians). Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis to identify barriers, facilitators, and modifications needed to optimize Nova Sleepcare for real-world practice. Results: Analysis identified one barrier and three key facilitators that shaped the final intervention. The barrier reflected end-users' limited capacity to deliver or implement sleep strategies. Facilitators included: (1) strong motivation among youth and caregivers to improve sleep and reduce BoC; (2) Nova Sleepcare's accessibility and ability to be tailored across diverse presentations and settings; and (3) its stepwise Pathway to Better Sleep, helping families and pediatricians collaboratively prioritize manageable strategies. These findings informed a streamlined, flexible tool that end-users viewed as practical and relevant. Conclusion: By embedding co-designed, evidence-based, active sleep education into the clinical encounter, Nova Sleepcare addresses a longstanding gap in care for youth with NDDs with BoC.
