Multidimensional analysis of smartphone overuse in insomnia: Integrating digital phenotyping with clinical assessment.

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 and aims: This study aimed to identify the differences in characteristics between high- and low-risk smartphone users among individuals with insomnia symptoms using digital phenotyping and clinical assessments. Methods: A total of 246 participants with insomnia symptoms (M = 31.14, SD = 10.09) were monitored for four weeks using the smartphone application and wearable devices. The participants were divided into high-(n = 141) and low-risk (n = 105) smartphone overuse groups based on a Smartphone Overuse Screening Questionnaire. Clinical scale results and wearable data were analyzed using ANCOVA and logistic regression, controlling for age, sex, and BMI. Results: After covariate adjustment, the high-risk group showed significantly greater biological rhythm disruption (K-BRIAN: LS-mean difference = 6.86, p < 0.000), more severe insomnia (ISI index: aOR: 2.63, p = 0.0005), and poorer sleep quality (PSQI-K: aOR: 2.41, p = 0.0015). Psychological distress, including depression (PHQ-9 index: aOR: 2.77, p = 0.0001) and anxiety (GAD-7 index: aOR: 1.59, p = 0.0059), was more pronounced in the high-risk group. Bedtime procrastination (BPS index: aOR: 1.96, p = 0.0173) and stress reactivity to insomnia (FIRST index: aOR: 1.67, p = 0.0574) were significantly elevated. Digital phenotyping revealed persistent differences in minimum daytime heart rate and exercise intensity patterns, while many activity-related measures lost significance after adjustment. Discussion and conclusions: Smartphone overuse is independently associated with severe circadian disruption, insomnia, and psychological distress. The integrated assessment approach revealed critical biomarkers and behavioral patterns. Targeted interventions focused on circadian stabilization and behavioral sleep patterns may improve sleep quality and mental health outcomes in this population. Longitudinal research is needed to establish causality.
