Unraveling the relation between sleep and academic performance among medical students.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 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
backgroundSleep is the most effective state to reset brain activity and is crucial for overall health. Medical college students are among the most vulnerable groups at risk of experiencing poor sleep quality, which can lead to suboptimal academic performance. AIM AND
objectivesThis study aimed to assess the sleep quality and daytime sleepiness of medical students. The objective of the study was to determine the correlation between academic performance and their characteristics. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study is institution-based, cross-sectional, and noninterventional. A total of 183 medical students were recruited from four professional years. The sleep quality, daytime sleepiness, and perceived academic performance were collected using a structured questionnaire. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Scale and Epworth Sleepiness Scale were used. Among other questions were the causes of sleep disturbances and the perceived academic performance, which was self-reported.
results38.3% of students reported excessive daytime sleepiness (ESS > 10), and 80.9% had poor sleep quality. A negative correlation was found between daytime sleepiness (r=-0.768, p=0.000) and perceived academic performance and between sleep quality and academic performance. (r = -0.337, p=0.000).
conclusionThis study underscores the need for strategies to improve sleep quality among medical students to enhance their academic performance and well-being.
