"Nomophobia: Prevalence, associated factors, and impact on academic performance among nursing students".
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Background: The literature offers limited and conflicting evidence regarding the prevalence, associated factors, and impact of nomophobia on nursing students' academic performance. Objective: This study aimed to investigate these aspects among nursing students. Method: A cross-sectional design and convenience sampling method were used to recruit 500 nursing students. Data were collected using a demographic information form and a nomophobia questionnaire. Students were categorized into two groups based on their previous semester grade point average (GPA): strong (GPA >15) and weak (GPA ≤15). Descriptive and inferential statistics, including the chi-square test and linear regression, were used for data analysis in SPSS-18 software. Results: The study found a considerable prevalence of nomophobia (approximately 80 %) among nursing students. Significant differences in nomophobia scores were observed based on gender and primary smartphone usage. However, no statistically significant difference was found in mean nomophobia scores between strong and weak students, nor was there a significant correlation between nomophobia scores and academic performance. Conclusion: This study highlights the high prevalence of nomophobia among nursing students and its potential implications for their physical and mental well-being. Although no significant association was found between nomophobia and academic performance, educating students about the potential risks of nomophobia and encouraging responsible smartphone use remains crucial. Future research should focus on developing interventions and preventive strategies to mitigate the adverse effects of nomophobia.
