1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

This study surveyed 12529 adolescents and employed latent profile analysis to explore the types of adolescents' school adjustment. Multiple linear regression and the Bootstrap method were used to investigate the predictive role of recreational screen time in adolescents' school adjustment and the mediating mechanism of perceived physical health. The results revealed three types of school adjustment in adolescents: "Ideal Type", "Growth Type", and "Ambivalent Type". Recreational screen time was found to significantly and negatively predict both adolescents' school adjustment and their classification into adjustment types. Furthermore, recreational screen time indirectly predicted adolescents' school adjustment through the mediating role of perceived physical health. These findings suggest the importance of appropriately controlling recreational screen time, especially for adolescents in the ideal type category, and further exploring the physical and mental development patterns of adolescents in the ambivalent type, to provide a theoretical basis for improving school adjustment in adolescents.
