Mobile Phone Addiction, Perceived Stress, and Morningness-Eveningness Preference in Nursing Students: A Computer-Simulated Network Analysis.

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
backgroundNursing students with high levels of perceived stress may be vulnerable to problematic mobile phone use. Morningness-eveningness preference may shape the relationship between mobile phone addiction and perceived stress. Using network analysis and computer-simulated interventions, this study explored symptom-level associations and potential intervention targets among nursing students.
methodsParticipants enrolled in the "Be Resilient to Nursing Career" program completed the Mobile Phone Addiction Index, Perceived Stress Scale, and Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire. Network analysis was conducted to identify central and bridge symptoms. Computer-simulated intervention analysis was used to identify potential symptom targets within the network. Moderated network analysis was further performed to examine the moderating role of morningness-eveningness preference.
resultsThe central symptoms were inability to control craving (Str = 0.88, Bet = 2, Clo = 0.039, and EI = 0.77) and productivity loss (Str = 1.13, Bet = 3, Clo = 0.038, EI = 0.95). Feelings of nervousness emerged as an important bridge symptom between perceived stress and mobile phone addiction. Inability to control craving showed the strongest influence in the simulated intervention analysis and may represent a potential intervention target. Feelings of nervousness showed the greatest change in the simulated intervention analysis. Four significant three-way interactions suggested a potential moderating role of morningness-eveningness preference.
conclusionThis study identified potential symptom targets associated with perceived stress and mobile phone addiction among nursing students through network analysis and computer-simulated interventions. The findings may help inform future student support strategies and mental health management in nursing education. Morningness-eveningness preference may play a moderating role in the association between perceived stress and mobile phone addiction.
