Effect of Noise Sensitivity on Mental Health: Mediating Role of Sleep Problems.
Article in Noise & health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveNoise sensitivity refers to an individual's general perception toward noise and may be associated with mental health and sleep. However, the effect of noise sensitivity on mental health requires further exploration. This study aimed to investigate the impact of noise sensitivity on mental health and the mediating role of sleep problems. Methods: We assessed 268 students from Shenzhen University, situated within 800 m of a construction site. We used the Weinstein Noise Sensitivity Scale-8, Patient Health Questionnaire-4, and Jenkins Sleep Scale-4 to assess noise sensitivity, depression, anxiety, and sleep quality. Results: Noise sensitivity was significantly and positively associated with anxiety, depression, and sleep problems (P < 0.01). Logistic regressions indicated that noise sensitivity positively predicted sleep problems (P = 0.011), anxiety, and depression (P = 0.014). The indirect effect of noise sensitivity on anxiety and depression through sleep problems accounted for 38.89% of the total effect (P = 0.268). Conclusion: Sleep problems serve as a mediating variable in the relationship between noise sensitivity and depression and anxiety. Future studies should explore additional variables that mediate the effect of noise sensitivity on mental health.
