Smartphone Addiction, Screen Time, and Physical Activity of Different Academic Majors and Study Levels in University Students.

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
Smartphone addiction is increasing among university students. This study aims to explore the differences in screen time and physical activity among university students with and without smartphone addiction, considering their study majors and levels. One hundred and twenty participants from sixteen faculties were included, divided into three academic majors (health sciences, social sciences and humanities, and science and technology). Data were collected using a screen time behavior questionnaire and a screen time application. Physical activity was measured using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ). This study demonstrated that the smartphone addiction group had higher screen time on both smartphones (
