The relationship between internet addiction and daytime sleepiness in nursing students: a moderated mediation model.
Article in Frontiers in psychiatry, 2026. 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
Background: Internet addiction is highly correlated with daytime sleepiness, but the underlying mechanisms between the variables need to be further explored. The aim of this study was to investigate sleep quality as a mediating factor and depression as a moderating factor to further elucidate the potential risk factors between internet addiction and daytime sleepiness in nursing students. Method: A self-report survey was conducted among 1,578 nursing students from eight universities in China. The survey included measures of internet addiction, sleep quality, daytime sleepiness, and depression. Descriptive and correlation analysis of these variables was performed, and a moderated mediation model was constructed. Results: Internet addiction was positively correlated with sleepiness, sleep quality, and depression between nursing days. Sleep quality played a partial mediating role in the relationship between internet addiction and daytime sleepiness in nursing students, and depression strengthened the relationship between internet addiction and sleep quality pathway in a moderated mediation model. Conclusion: This study further revealed the psychological mechanism of the relationship between internet addiction and sleepiness in nursing. Sleep quality was a mediating factor for this relationship, and depression may enhance the strength of the relationship between internet addiction and sleep quality variables.
