Sleep-Related Problems and Needlestick Injuries Among Nursing Students: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in SAGE open nursing. 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 and aim: Needlestick and sharp injuries (NSIs) are prevalent among registered nurses and nursing students. Although NSIs are a multifactorial phenomenon, the relationship between sleep problems and NSIs remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to examine the association between sleep-related problems and NSIs among nursing students. Methodology: Cross-sectional study of n = 584 nursing students from two Ecuadorian universities. Sociodemographic and academic data as well as information on NSIs in the previous three months were obtained through an online questionnaire. Self-reported insomnia, sleepiness, sleep hygiene practices and emotional well-being were explored using validated questionnaires. The relationship between all variables and the occurrence of NSIs was explored using logistic regression analyses. Findings: In total, 23.6% of the students (n = 138) reported at least one NSI in the previous three months. Those reporting NSIs used hypnotics more frequently ( Conclusion: Having insomnia symptoms and being younger were associated with an increased likelihood of reporting NSIs among nursing students. There is an urgent need to develop preventive strategies that address the potential role of sleep problems and other individual and organizational factors to reduce the occurrence of NSIs among students and healthcare professionals.
