Prevalence, Risk Factors, and Relevant Consequences of Mobile Phone Dependence Among Middle School Students - Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, China, 2023.

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
What is already known about this topic?: The risk factors for mobile phone dependence (MPD) remain inconsistent and debated in the literature. Previous studies in China reported MPD prevalence rates of 26.2% among junior high students and 27.9% among senior high students in 2012. A 2021 study in Guangzhou City found a prevalence of 13.5% among first-year senior high students. What is added by this report?: This study reveals that the overall MPD prevalence among middle school students in Guangzhou was 10.0% in 2023, with distinct rates between junior high (7.3%) and senior high (12.4%) students. The research identifies key risk factors for MPD development and documents injury patterns associated with excessive phone use. What are the implications for public health practice?: These findings provide an evidence base for developing targeted interventions to reduce both MPD occurrence and associated injuries among middle school students.
