The mediating role of sleep quality between pre-sleep portable media device use and nursing performance.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 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
The prevalence of portable media device (PMD) use has proliferated, potentially causing serious problems, particularly in critical situations. The main aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between pre-sleep PMD use and cognitive performance, as well as the mediating effects of sleep quality among nurses. A cross-sectional study was designed, with 200 registered nurses voluntarily participating. The average time spent on PMDs was self-reported. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, the epworth sleepiness scale, the Occupational cognitive failures questionnaire, and the Nursing Errors Questionnaire were used to collect data. Correlation analyses and structural equation modeling were conducted. Significant relationships were found between pre-sleep PMD use and all variables of interest. Sleep quality was significantly related to daytime sleepiness and occupational cognitive failures, mediating the effect of pre-sleep PMD use on these two variables. Problematic use of PMDs at bedtime may be considered an unsafe act for healthcare workers. Healthcare providers should be aware of the potential risks induced by excessive PMD use. Creating a culture of proper smartphone use is crucial for overcoming these challenges.
