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.

This study examined the relationship between recreational screen time at university entry and mental health over the academic year, and the potential moderating role of self-esteem.MethodsData from the longitudinal Queen's U-Flourish Survey (2021/2022) included measures of screen time unrelated to academic work (leisure and social) and validated screening measures for anxiety (GAD-7), depression (PHQ-9), insomnia (SCI-8), disordered eating (SCOFF), and low well-being (SWEMWBS). Multivariable log-binomial regression was used to examine associations between screen time and mental health.ResultsAt entry to university, a higher proportion of males (n = 394) than females (n = 1,135) reported averaging 4 + hours/day of leisure screen time (57.4% vs. 45.3%,
