Stationary screen time, blood lipids, and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease incidence.
Article in BMC cardiovascular disorders, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
BACKGROUND AND
aimsThe associations between screen time exposure, blood lipids, and Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD) incidence have been less studied. We aimed to examine the associations of exposure to screen time with blood total cholesterol (TC), HDL-C, LDL-C, triglycerides (TG), apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1), apolipoprotein B (ApoB), and ASCVD risk score, and risk of subsequent ASCVD incidence. METHODS AND
resultsA nationwide sample of 7124 China Health and Nutrition Survey 2009 participants were followed up to 2015 for ASCVD incidence. The stationary screen time exposure was assessed through self-reported daily hours of using television, and computers. A total of 292 ASCVD events occurred during 35,310 follow-up person-years. Per 1-h increases in daily screen time exposure were associated with a higher 0.34% (0.12% to 0.56%), 0.47% (0.09% to 0.86%), and 0.51% (0.19% to 0.83%) increases in blood TC, LDL-C, and ApoB levels. A higher risk of incident ASCVD was associated with per log-transformed unit increase in blood LDL-C (adjusted HR = 1.51, 95% CI 1.04 to 2.18), and ApoB (adjusted HR = 1.80, 95% CI 1.12 to 2.92). The elevated blood TC, blood LDL-C, blood ApoA1 and ApoB levels significantly mediated the association between screen time exposure and ASCVD incidence. Urban dwellers, middle-aged adults, and females were particularly associated with a higher ASCVD risk with screen time exposure.
conclusionsThe results of this nationwide cohort supported the associations of screen time exposure with elevated blood LDL-C, and ApoB levels, which consistently contributed to an increased risk of subsequent ASCVD incidence.
