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
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the gender-based physical activity attitudes of university students according to their smartphone addiction levels. Methods: The study was designed using a relational screening model. One thousand twenty-one university students participated in the study voluntarily and data were collected using an online survey method. In addition to the demographic characteristics of the participants, the Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Form and the Cognitive Behavioral Physical Activity Scale were used in the study. Data were analyzed using the SPSS package program. Hierarchical and non-hierarchical cluster analyses were applied to determine the participants' smartphone addiction levels, and differences in physical activity attitudes according to gender and smartphone addiction level were tested with Univariate Analysis of Variance. Results: A significant difference was found in participants' physical activity attitudes according to their smartphone addiction levels ( Conclusion: It was observed that attitudes toward physical activity decreased as smartphone addiction levels increased. This suggests that smartphone addiction negatively impacts young people's active lifestyle habits and increases their tendency toward sedentary behavior. By demonstrating the effects of digital addiction on attitudes toward physical activity, the study provides important findings regarding the sustainability of young people's healthy lifestyle habits.
