1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: In recent years, the global incidence of Non-Suicidal Self-Injury (NSSI) has risen, posing a significant challenge in public health. Adolescents are the main group affected. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using a self-administered questionnaire to collect data from 6,311 adolescents in Hefei, China. This study employed the Compositional Isotemporal Substitution Model (CISM, a statistical method that estimates health effects of replacing time in one behavior with another while accounting for the interdependent, compositional nature of 24-h time-use data) to examine the impact of Screen Time (ST), Non-Screen-based Sedentary Time (NSST), Physical Activity, and Sleep Time on NSSI among adolescents. Results: Compositional logistic regression analysis revealed that, relative to the remaining behavioral components, higher Light Physical Activity (LPA) ( Conclusion: The findings highlight those reasonably allocating adolescents' daily activities, reducing ST, can help lower the risk of NSSI among adolescents.
