1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: As everyday attention is routinely pulled towards smartphones with almost everyone engaging in it to some extent the investigation of phubbing (snubbing someone by focusing on a phone) and being phubbed (experiencing that snub) has become increasingly important for understanding how technology shapes face-to-face interaction. Aim: To evaluate the psychometric properties of the Greek Generic Scale of Phubbing (GSP) and the Generic Scale of Being Phubbed (GSBP) in a nursing population. Methods: A cross-sectional psychometric validation study conducted with 406 nursing personnel recruited from one tertiary and five secondary hospitals in Greece (July to September 2025). Participants completed the 15-items GSP, the 22 items GSBP, and the Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version (SAS-SV). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used while internal consistency was assessed with McDonald's Results: EFA supported a four-factor solution for the GSP and a three-factor solution for the GSBP. CFA fit was adequate for the GSP and marginal-to-acceptable for the GSBP. Reliability was good to excellent, while the CFA-derived AVE/CR indices supported convergent validity, and Fornell-Larcker comparisons supported discriminant validity. SAS-SV correlated moderately with GSP total and more weakly with GSBP total. Conclusion: The Greek GSP and GSBP yield reliable and valid scores for assessing phubbing and being phubbed among nursing personnel, supporting future research on technology-related disruption in clinical communication and teamwork.
