Physical education, muscle strengthening exercise, sport participation and their associations with screen time in adolescents.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background/Objective: Physical activity (PA) has been suggested to reduce screen time. This study aimed to explore the associations of physical education (PE), muscle-strengthening exercise (MSE), and sport participation with screen time. Methods: A multi-cluster sampling design was used to select 13,677 school-attending adolescents that participated in the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance 2019 survey. Adolescents self-reported their frequency of PE attendance, participations in MSE, sport participation and hours for screen time. Additionally, participants provided demographic information including sex, age, race, grade, and weight status. Results: Collectively, there were beneficial associations between participating in MSE for 4 (OR = 1.31, CI: 1.02-1.68), 5 (OR = 1.65, CI: 1.31-2.08), 6 (OR = 2.23, CI: 1.47-3.36), 7 (OR = 1.62, CI: 1.30-2.01) days and video or computer game hours. Similarly, beneficial associations between participating in 1 team sport (OR = 1.23, CI: 1.06-1.42), 2 team sports (OR = 1.61, CI: 1.33-1.95), 3 or more team sports (OR = 1.45, CI: 1.16-1.83) and video or computer game hours were observed. Participating in 1 team sport (OR = 1.27, CI: 1.08-1.48), 2 teams sport (OR = 1.41, CI: 1.09-1.82), 3 or more team sport (OR = 1.40, CI: 1.03-1.90) also increased the odds for meeting guidelines for television viewing hours. Only 2 days of PE attendance (OR = 1.44, CI: 1.14-1.81) was significantly associated with video or computer game hours. Conclusion: The promotion of sports participation appears to be an important component for reducing excess screen time in adolescents. Further, MSE may have beneficial effects on reducing time spent on the computer and playing video games.
