1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Aims and Objectives: To investigate the associations among risk for social media addiction (SMA), nomophobia, clinical performance, and the mediating effect of academic self-efficacy (ASE) among these relationships. Background: There is a preponderance of studies about SMA and nomophobia's negative and positive effects on nursing students' academic performance. However, its impacts on clinical performance among nursing interns and whether ASE has a mediating effect among these relationships remain underreported. Methods: A cross-sectional correlational design was used, involving nursing interns, who were consecutively recruited from April to June 2025, from four nursing colleges. To collect data, three validated self-report scales were used. Covariance-based structural equation modeling was employed for data analyses. Results: Risk for SMA positively influenced nomophobia ( Conclusion: SMA and nomophobia reduced nursing interns' clinical performance. Meanwhile, ASE improved clinical performance. ASE was a protective factor against the ill-effects caused by SMA and nomophobia on clinical performance. Implications for Nursing Management: Nursing school administrators may create proactive policies in helping nursing students manage their SMA and nomophobia. Nurse managers in clinical learning environments should cultivate favorable learning experiences where students can develop ASE and master clinical skills. Nursing educators and students must elevate their knowledge regarding the negative impacts of SMA and nomophobia and at the same time how they adversely influence nursing students' clinical performance while jeopardizing patient safety.
