Listening Effort, Sleep Quality, and Digital Addiction: Exploring Their Links.
Article in Brain and behavior, 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
objectiveThis study aimed to clarify the relationship between sleep quality and listening effort, as well as the relationship between digital addiction and listening effort.
methodsListening effort was assessed via a dual-task paradigm. In this paradigm, repeating the auditorily presented sentence was designated the primary task, whereas a modified version of the Stop Signal Task served as the secondary task. Sleep quality was evaluated via the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and digital addiction was assessed via the Digital Addiction Scale (DAS).
resultsNo significant differences were detected between the PSQI groups in terms of the reaction time dual-task effect (RT-DTE) or the error rate dual-task effect (ER-DTE), and no significant relationships were detected between the PSQI score and either the RT-DTE or the ER-DTE. Similarly, no correlation was found between the DAS and RT-DTE or ER-DTE.
conclusionThis study is the first to explore listening effort in relation to sleep quality and digital addiction. The results showed no significant effects of either variable on listening effort in healthy young adults under controlled conditions. These findings suggest that listening effort may be resilient to variations in sleep quality and digital addiction, and that other cognitive or auditory factors may play a more critical role. Further studies with more comprehensive designs are needed to clarify these relationships.
