Neighborhood Quality and Screen Use: Findings From the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study.
Article in Academic pediatrics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectiveTo determine the relationship between various measures of neighborhood quality and adolescent screen use in a demographically diverse, US cohort of early adolescents.
methodsWe analyzed cohort data of 8446 adolescents (aged 9-10 at baseline in 2016-2018) with 2 years of follow-up from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study. Mixed-effects models adjusted for age, sex, race and ethnicity, household income, parents' highest education, and study site were used to examine the associations of baseline indices of children's neighborhood quality measures based on geospatial location data with daily screen time measures at baseline, Year 1, and Year 2.
resultsLower child opportunity index (COI), higher social vulnerability index (SVI), and higher area deprivation index (ADI) at baseline were associated with higher total screen time, particularly higher television/movie watching, video game playing, and video streaming. Specifically, compared to the highest COI quintile, lower COI quintiles (1st-4th) were associated with higher total screen time (B = 0.39-0.64, P<.05). Compared to the first SVI quintile, higher SVI quintiles (2nd-5th) were associated with higher total screen time (B = 0.28-0.64, P<.01). Similarly, compared to the first ADI quintile, higher ADI quintiles (2nd-5th) were also associated with higher total screen time (B = 0.46-1.17, P<.001).
conclusionsOverall, this study found that neighborhood quality is associated with higher screen time, over and above other factors, suggesting it is important to consider the role of environmental factors and identify potential targets for intervention at the neighborhood level.
