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: Smartphones have become an essential part of daily life, but excessive use can lead to significant issues. This study assesses smartphone addiction among college students, examining its impact on dietary behaviors and health-promoting lifestyles. The aim is to provide a basis for targeted interventions. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 1,002 students at Xuzhou Medical University in 2025 using a convenience sampling. Data were collected via questionnaires and analyzed using SPSS 21.0. The study used the Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version (SAS-SV), the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile (HPLP-II), and the Intuitive Eating Scale-2 (IES-2). Statistical methods included normality tests, descriptive statistics, and mediation analysis. Results: Among the participants, medical students scored 34 (SAS), 74 (IES), and 134 (HPLP-II), while non-medical students scored 33.5 (SAS), 74 (IES), and 134 (HPLP-II). A negative correlation was observed between smartphone addiction and both intuitive eating (r = -0.174, Conclusion: Smartphones have dual impacts on students' eating behaviors and health. Excessive use is associated with disrupted eating patterns, while moderate use is associated with healthy behaviors that support well-being. It is crucial to educate students on balancing smartphone use with healthy habits is crucial. However, it is important to note that these findings, derived from a convenience sample at a single medical university, may not be fully generalizable to all college student populations. Future research with more diverse samples is needed to confirm these relationships.
