Effect of impact mechanism and intervention measures on sleep quality of college students addicted to short video: a randomly controlled trial.

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
Introduction: The rapid growth of short video platforms has raised concerns about their impact on users' mental health, particularly sleep quality. The aim of this research is to investigate the relationship between short video addiction and sleep quality among college students, examine the differential impacts of algorithm types (personalized vs. community-based) and content types on sleep parameters, and evaluate the effectiveness of a multi-component intervention. Methods: Sixty college students (aged 18-25) meeting criteria for short video addiction (PSQI ≥5, daily usage ≥2 h) were randomly assigned to personalized algorithm ( Results: Personalized algorithms significantly worsened sleep quality compared to community-based algorithms (PSQI: 10.4 ± 2.3 vs. 8.7 ± 2.1, Conclusion: Short video addiction significantly impacts sleep quality. The combination of personalized algorithms and entertainment content creates particularly detrimental conditions for sleep. A comprehensive intervention incorporating CBT, digital tools, and social support effectively improves sleep quality and reduces addiction symptoms.
