An update on screen time and choice reaction time among medical college students in India.
Article in Bioinformation, 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
There is an increased screen time among medical college students in India. This is a huge concern. Therefore, it is of interest to report an update on the relationship between screen time and cognitive performance, specifically choice reaction time (CRT), among 147 undergraduate students aged 18-25 years. The results indicate a significant positive correlation between increased screen time and prolonged CRT, suggesting that excessive screen use negatively affects cognitive responsiveness. Additionally, screen time was found to be inversely correlated with sleep duration, pointing to disrupted sleep as a potential mediator for cognitive decline. No significant gender differences were observed in CRT, highlighting the universal impact of screen time on cognitive function. These findings emphasize the need for balanced screen use and adequate sleep to maintain optimal cognitive performance in young adults.
