How family sports behavior shapes adolescent sleep: mediating effects in causation.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2024. 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
Objective: This study aimed to describe adolescent sleep and explore its association with physical activity, focusing on the mediating role of family physical behavior. Methods: Data were sourced from the Chinese Adolescent Health Database, which included responses from 7,482 adolescents aged 12-18 years about sleep, personal physical activity, and family physical activity. Using two-stage least squares (2-SLS), we examined the relationship between adolescent sleep, personal physical activity, and father's physical activity habits (as instrumental variables). A mediating variable, family physical behavior, was introduced to investigate causal pathways. Results: 2-SLS regression revealed a significant positive correlation between physical activity and sleep quality ( Conclusion: Family physical behaviors significantly enhance the positive impact of physical activity on adolescent sleep. Promoting family sports participation is essential for fostering healthy lifestyles and improving adolescent sleep quality. This highlights the need for interventions that incorporate family physical activities into adolescent health strategies.
