The interactive roles between coping tendency and focus on COVID-19 information time in Adolescent Obesity.

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
aimThis study examined the relationship between adolescents' coping tendency, the focus on COVID-19 information time, and adolescent obesity during the COVID-19 pandemic.
methodsA prevalence survey of 13,374 students from 13 secondary schools in Tianjin was conducted between April and June 2022 using convenience cluster sampling. Basic information on the adolescents' heights, weights, and psychological health conditions was collected using a general information questionnaire and a coping style questionnaire.
resultsObese adolescents scored significantly lower on positive coping styles. In addition, adolescents who spent more than three hours on COVID-19 information had a significantly higher rate of obesity than the other groups. The findings of the regression analysis indicate that a positive coping style (0.980, 0.974-0.986) functions as a protective factor, while the amount of time spent on COVID-19 information (1.140, 1.088-1.195) serves as a risk factor. The findings indicate that the interaction between positive coping tendency and less time focus on COVID-19 information significantly influences adolescent obesity (0.923, 0.904-0.942).
conclusionsIncreased daily time spent with COVID-19 information was associated with a higher incidence of adolescent obesity. Positive coping styles have been observed to reduce the incidence of obesity in adolescents. Positive coping tendency and less time focus on COVID-19 information can mutually reinforce the reduction in adolescent obesity. In developing interventions for adolescent obesity during periods of chronic crisis, authorities must focus on enhancing adolescents' coping mechanisms and reducing the amount of time spent focusing on crises.
