Cross-lagged analysis of mobile phone addiction and bedtime procrastination: a comparison of gender and perceived stress levels among Chinese college students.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Purpose: This study aims to investigate the longitudinal relationship between Mobile Phone Addiction (MPA) and Bedtime Procrastination (BP) and to analyze differences across various gender and stress level groups, providing a theoretical basis and practical guidance for the development of relevant intervention strategies. Methods: A longitudinal research design was employed, conducting two surveys among 1,423 first-year to junior college students at a university in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, in November 2021 and May 2022. Measurements were taken using the Mobile Phone Addiction Scale, Bedtime Procrastination Scale, and Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21). Data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 24.0, employing methods such as descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, repeated measures variance analysis, and structural equation modeling. Results: The study found that both MPA and BP are on the rise among college students and share a bidirectional longitudinal relationship. Under low-stress conditions, MPA significantly predicted subsequent BP, while under high-stress, BP significantly predicted subsequent MPA. Additionally, gender-specific analyses revealed that MPA significantly predicted subsequent BP in both male and female students, but BP only significantly predicted subsequent MPA in female students. Conclusion: MPA and BP mutually influence each other among college students, with this relationship being moderated by stress levels and gender. Personalized intervention measures should be adopted for college students of different genders and stress levels to effectively prevent and alleviate MPA and BP, promoting the healthy growth and comprehensive development of college students.
