Does adult recreational screen-time sedentary behavior have an effect on self-perceived health?
Article in Public health in practice (Oxford, England), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Objectives: Sedentary behavior is a risk factor for comorbidities independently of physical activity. Some studies have reported screen time as an unhealthier form of sedentary behavior. This study assessed the association between recreational screen-time behavior and self-perceived health. Study design: This is a cross-sectional study. Methods: As part of the Results: A total of 82.7% of men and 82.5% of women reported sedentary behavior during recreational screen time of ≥3 h/day on working days, and 63.9% of men and 65.8% of women on non-working days. Spending ≥3 h/day sitting in front of a screen for leisure was associated with poor self-perceived health only on working days for men [PR = 1.87 (1.13-3.09)] but not for women [PR = 1.32 (0.82-2.11)] regardless of leisure physical activity, age, and social class. Conclusions: In adults, sedentary behavior during recreational screen time on working days is adversely associated with perceived ill health in men, irrespective of leisure time physical activity. Public health interventions could benefit from promoting a reduction in leisure screen sitting time after working hours.
