When poor sleep hurts most: procrastination as a moderator of the association between sleep quality and academic performance in medical students.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The demanding nature of medical training elevates the risk of sleep disruption and may compromise academic performance. At the same time, procrastination is a prevalent self-regulatory difficulty among students that has been independently linked to poorer academic outcomes. Although both sleep quality and procrastination are two critical self-regulatory variables that have been linked to performance, their interplay is not well understood. The present cross-sectional study examined whether procrastination moderates the association between sleep quality and academic performance in medical students. An
