Sleep quality, insomnia, chronic fatigue, and work performance in three-shift and fixed-night-shift nurses: a comparative cross-sectional study.
Article in Journal of Korean biological nursing 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
purposeThis study compared sleep quality, insomnia, chronic fatigue, and work performance between nurses working fixed night shifts and those working rotating three-shift schedules and examined the relationships among these variables by work schedule type. Factors associated with work performance were also identified.
methodsThis cross-sectional survey included nurses working at a university hospital. Data were collected using structured questionnaires measuring sleep quality, assessed with the Korean version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, insomnia, chronic fatigue, and work performance. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, nonparametric tests, Spearman's correlation coefficients, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis using SPSS version 30.0 program.
resultsInsomnia differed significantly between nurses working fixed night shifts and those working rotating three-shift schedules. Among nurses on rotating three-shift schedules, poorer sleep quality, greater insomnia, and higher chronic fatigue were significantly associated with lower work performance, whereas sleep-related variables were not significantly associated with work performance among fixed-night-shift nurses. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis showed that education level, job satisfaction and fixed-night-shift work were significant factors associated with work performance. The final model explained 17.0% of the variance in work performance, with an adjusted R2 of .15. Job satisfaction showed the strongest association.
conclusionThe relationship between sleep-related factors and work performance differed by work schedule type. These findings suggest that interventions to improve nurses' work performance should combine sleep health management with organizational strategies, particularly efforts to improve job satisfaction. The role of fixed-night-shift nursing systems should be examined further in future studies.
