Phubbing in Students: New Evidence for a Spanish Short Form of the Phubbing Scale (PS-6).
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundPhubbing-the act of snubbing someone by concentrating on a smartphone-is claimed to be an increasing, even normative, behavior receiving more research attention. However, evidence about the adequacy of instruments that allow screening for phubbing is limited.
objectivesThus, the main purpose of the present study was to analyze the psychometric properties of the Phubbing scale in a sample of adolescents and young adults and present a reliable and valid short form.
methodsThe final sample included a total of 1351 adolescent students (54.25% males), aged between 12 and 21. The study used a self-administered questionnaire with different scales for collecting data.
resultsA two-dimensional model of a short version of the PS with 6 items (PS-6) displayed appropriate goodness-of-fit indices. Strong measurement invariance for the two-dimensional model across gender and educational levels was confirmed. McDonald's Omega coefficients for the Communication, the Obsession, and the Total score of the PS-6 were 0.617, 0.669, and 0.701, respectively. The PS-6 was positively associated with several indicators of psychological difficulties and negatively associated with psychological well-being and self-esteem.
conclusionsThe present study contributes valuable information about the psychometric adequacy of the PS-6, a short instrument that allows screening for Phubbing in adolescents and young adults.
