The Efficacy of Interventions Targeting 24-h Movement Behaviours in Children and Adolescents: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

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
backgroundWhile the concept of "24-h movement behaviours" has gained attention, and correlational studies have shown its importance for health outcomes among children and adolescents, there is still no comprehensive review summarising the efficacy of such interventions in changing specific behaviour. This systematic review, therefore, aimed to examine the efficacy of interventions targeting 24-h movement behaviours on physical activity, sedentary behaviour/screen time, and sleep duration.
methodsA systematic search was conducted on February 1, 2024, across six databases (MEDLINE, PsycINFO, EMBASE, PubMed, Web of Science, and SPORTDiscus). Included articles were interventions targeting 24-h movement behaviours simultaneously (physical activity, sedentary behaviour/screen time, and sleep duration) in children and adolescents aged under 18 years. Data were analysed using random effects meta-analysis, and the risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool.
resultsThe literature search identifed 1849 articles, and 20 studies met the inclusion criteria, with 9 of them included in the meta-analysis. A pooled 26-min decrease was observed in screen time (95% CI = - 48.52, - 3.91, I
conclusionInterventions targeting a combination of 24-h movement behaviours have demonstrated efficacy in decreasing screen time and improving sleep duration, while the efficacy in physical activity and total sedentary behaviour warrants further exploration. The findings from this systematic review on 24-h movement behaviour interventions highlight the potential to leverage the interconnectedness of different movement behaviours, particularly in targeting screen time reduction and sleep duration enhancement. These insights can inform the development of more effective, holistic interventions and policies that promote comprehensive approaches to physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and sleep duration among children and adolescents.
