Effect of digital detox program on electronic screen syndrome among preparatory school students.
Article in Nursing open, 2023. 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
aimThe aim of this study was to determine the digital detox programme's impact on the electronic screen syndrome among preparatory school students.
designA quasi-experimental pre- and posttest group was used.
methodsTwo preparatory governmental schools. SAMPLE: purposive sample consists of 105 students. TOOLS: Two tools used for data collection: Student's datasheet and Electronic Screen Addiction Scale. The data collection period took six months, from September 2021 to February 2022.
resultsThe high rate of screen addiction among students dropped to 14.3% in the posttest compared with 20.0% in the pre-test. Moreover, the students' proportion with moderate screen addiction dropped from 65.7% on the pre-test to 43.8% on the posttest. Furthermore, screen addiction students with lower levels were about 41.9% in the posttest and 14.3% in the pre-test.
conclusionsThere was a highly statistically significant difference between school students' total electronic screen scores in the pre- and posttest. A preventive care programme is recommended for high school children and helps raise screen addiction's awareness and its negative consequences. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public contribution.
