Effects of life rules on mental health and behavioral problems among adolescent and youth students: A survey after the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions in China.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. 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
objectiveTo explore the impact of life rules (including individual's life habits and life patterns, such as diet, sleep, and learning styles) on mental health and behavioral problems among adolescent and youth students after the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions in Sichuan, China and analyze the influencing factors of life rules.
methodsAn online survey was conducted in middle schools, high schools, colleges and universities in Sichuan Province, China, from December 14, 2022, to February 28, 2023. Demographic information, COVID-19 epidemic-related questions, behavioral and mental health information were collected. Pearson chi-square tests and One-way ANOVA were used to compare the differences of drinking/smoking, suicidal ideation and attempts, internet addiction, anxiety, depression and PTSD among groups with different life rules. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of life rules.
resultsA total of 82,873 eligible participants (aged 12-24 years) were included in this study, 40,519 participants (48.9%) reported that their life rules were partially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and 6,461 participants (7.8%) reported that their life rules were severely disrupted. A total of 61.2% of participants partially recovered their life rules, and 8.6% of participants did not recover their life rules. There were statistically significant differences among different groups in terms of drinking/smoking habits, frequency of drinking/smoking in the past year, volume of drinking/smoking, internet addiction, anxiety and depression symptoms, PTSD, suicidal ideation and attempts (all P < 0.01). There were significant differences in the degree of impact and recovery of life rules among different genders, residence, grade, family economic level, home study status, academic level, infection and isolation status (all P < 0.01).
conclusionsAdolescent and youth students with disrupted life rules during and after the COVID-19 pandemic had significantly more mental health and behavioral problems. Targeted and specific psychosocial interventions should be urgently needed to reduce the mental health and behavioral problems among students.
