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
backgroundSmartphone addiction is increasingly prevalent, particularly among younger individuals, and has been linked to poor sleep quality. This study aims to assess the effects of smartphone addiction, usage time, socio-demographic factors, relationship with parents, parents' smartphone usage duration, and earthquake-related experiences on sleep quality among adolescents in the earthquake-affected Kahta district of Adıyaman, Turkey. MATERIALS AND
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted between June 1st and July 31st 2024 with 394 adolescents aged 12 to 18. Data were collected using a questionnaire that included socio-demographic variables, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and the Smartphone Addiction Scale.
resultsThe prevalence of smartphone addiction was 57.9%, while 66.2% of participants had poor sleep quality. Adolescents using smartphones for more than two hours daily had a higher frequency of poor sleep quality (p = 0.024). Parental influence was significant: participants whose mothers used smartphones for more than one hour daily had a 2.03 times higher risk of poor sleep quality (p = 0.022). Adolescents with poor relationships with parents had a significantly higher risk of sleep disturbances (p < 0.001). Additionally, those who experienced intense fear during the earthquake or lost loved ones showed significantly worse sleep quality (p = 0.007).
conclusionSmartphone addiction and prolonged usage are strongly associated with poor sleep quality among adolescents. Maternal smartphone use, affects adolescent sleep. Moreover, traumatic experiences related to the earthquake, such as fear and loss, significantly worsen sleep quality. These findings highlight the need for interventions addressing both smartphone addiction and family dynamics to improve sleep health in disaster-affected adolescents.
