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

The growing use of smartphones has been pointed out as one of the main reasons for the decrease in children's outdoor time. However, there is still a gap in our understanding of how smartphone use affects children's outdoor experiences and activities. The aim of the study is to explore children's dependency on their smartphones, what smartphone functions children use when outdoors and how smartphone use affects children's outdoor experiences. The study uses a mixed methods design which implements interviews with a small sample of children (
