Daily Screen Time Among Teenagers: United States, July 2021-December 2023.
Article in NCHS data brief, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
Introduction: This report describes the self-reported prevalence of daily screen time among teenagers ages 12-17 years and explores whether differences exist by selected characteristics and demographics. Methods: Data from the July 2021-December 2023 National Health Interview Survey-Teen were used for this analysis. Point estimates and the corresponding confidence intervals were calculated using SAS-callable SUDAAN software to account for the complex sample design of NHIS-Teen. Differences between percentages were evaluated using two-sided significance tests at the 0.05 level. Key findings: During July 2021-December 2023, about one-half of teenagers had 4 hours or more of daily screen time (50.4%). Black non-Hispanic teenagers (60.4%) were most likely to have 4 hours or more of daily screen time compared with teenagers in other race and Hispanic origin groups. About 1 in 4 teenagers with 4 hours or more of daily screen time have experienced anxiety (27.1%) or depression symptoms (25.9%) in the past 2 weeks.
