Association between modifiable lifestyle behaviors and depressive symptoms among Chinese adolescents: a longitudinal analysis from 2019 to 2021.
Article in BMC public health, 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
backgroundThe incidence of depression in adolescents is high, and depression has a great impact on children and adolescents, while the effects of changeable lifestyle on depression in adolescents are inconsistent, and there is a lack of longitudinal research results. To fill these knowledge gaps, we conducted a longitudinal study in Shanghai to evaluate the association between modifiable lifestyle behaviors and depression symptoms in adolescents.
methodsA total of 4314 students participated in the survey each year from 2019 to 2021 was included in this study. Students' physical activity behavior, screen behavior, and sleep behavior were collected by questionnaires. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D scale).
resultsThe detection rate of depressive symptoms in the study subjects was 23.6% in 2019, 23.2% in 2020, and 26.6% in 2021, and the trend test showed a significant upward trend in three years (P-trend = 0.001). Also, the detection rate of depressive symptoms in girls was higher than that of boys, but a significant rising trend was observed in boys over time (P-trend = 0.010). The generalized estimating equation analysis revealed that Students with TV time ≥ 2 h/day(OR = 1.29, 95%CI: 1.15, 1.46), computer time ≥ 2 h/day (OR = 1.20, 95%CI: 1.07, 1.36), mobile screen time ≥ 2 h/day(OR = 1.18, 95% CI: 1.08, 1.29), internet addiction(OR = 2.46, 95% CI: 1.81, 3.35), and inadequate sleep duration(OR = 0.66, 95% CI: 0.60, 0.72) were associated with an increased likelihood of detecting depressive symptoms. Students who participated in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) for a minimum of 60 min 1 to 4 days per week (OR = 0.77, 95%CI: 0.68, 0.86) or 5 to 7 days per week (OR = 0.73, 95%CI: 0.64, 0.84) exhibited a reduced likelihood of depressive symptoms in comparison to students who did not engage in MVPA for at least 60 min per week (P < 0.05).
conclusionWe presented the climbing trend of depressive symptom rate over three years and identified several alarming factors that were associated with adolescent depression symptoms in Shanghai, China, notably in lower level MPVA, electronic devices use, and inadequate sleep with increasing depression.
