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
backgroundSedentary behavior in adolescents is a major pediatric health concern. Prolonged inactivity can negatively affect physical and mental health, potentially leading to body image distortion, especially among adolescents. This study aims to explore the relationship between sedentary behavior and body image distortion in adolescents, considering sedentary purpose and sex differences.
methodsThis study analyzed data from the 2021-2023 Korea Youth Risk Behavior Survey (KYRBS), comprising 150,025 middle and high school students. Sedentary time was self-reported as the average daily sedentary duration over 7 days. Body image distortion was defined as a discrepancy between the body mass index and perceived body image of participants. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and logistic regression, stratified by sex and sedentary purpose. Increased sedentary behavior was significantly associated with body image distortion.
resultsAmong female adolescents, educational sedentary time had a stronger effect on body image distortion (odds ratio: 1.06, 95% confidence interval: 1.02-1.09). In contrast, male adolescents showed no significant association.
conclusionsThis study highlights the significant association between sedentary behavior and body image distortion in adolescents. Future research should further explore the long-term effects of sedentary behavior on the physical and mental health of adolescents.
