Assessment of Sleep Quality and its Relationship to Social Media Use Among Medical Students.
Article in Medical science educator, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesThis study attempted to assess sleep quality among medical students and examine the relationship between social network use and sleep quality.
methodsDescriptive cross-sectional study, enrolling medical students of King Abdulaziz University and Batterjee Medical College. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to assess sleep quality.
resultsOf the 702 medical students who responded to our survey (410 females and 292 males), more than 66% suffered from poor sleep quality. Approximately 92.3% of the surveyed students used electronic devices before they fell asleep, and 88.4% used these devices for social networking purposes. Female students were found to suffer more than male students, and they also reported spending more time on social networking sites before sleeping (
conclusionThis study suggests that students who reported poor sleep spent an average of 64.38 min on social networking sites before sleeping; this duration was negatively associated with medical students' sleep quality.
