Understanding how motor function and lifestyle factors shape problematic media use in adolescents with cerebral palsy.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe aim of this study is to examine the relationship between problematic media use and gross motor function level, physical activity, and personal factors in adolescents diagnosed with cerebral palsy (CP) and to investigate effect of gross motor function on problematic media use.
methods100 adolescents with CP aged between 10 and 18 years (mean age = 12.0 ± 4.50) and Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) I-V were included in study. Problematic Media Use Scale, Gross Motor Function Measure-66, and International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) were administered to parents. Relationships between parameters were analyzed using a structural equation model. The Kruskal–Wallis test was used to compare problematic media use according to GMFCS level.
resultsStructural path analysis revealed that gross motor function significantly predicted problematic media use (β = 0.055). Physical activity was found to be a significant predictor of both moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) (β = 0.221) and walking ability as measured by the IPAQ (β = 0.423). Furthermore, personal factors such as age, gender, and cerebral palsy type did not exhibit any statistically significant relationship with problematic media use (all p > 0.05). Comparison of problematic media use across gross motor function level revealed significant differences (p < 0.001).
conclusionAnalysis results indicate that gross motor function has a significant effect on problematic media use. However, no significant relationship was observed between physical activity and problematic media use. Additionally, individual factors such as age, gender, and type of CP were not significantly associated with media use. Results emphasize the predictive value of gross motor and physical activity variables over media-related behaviors, while personal factors appear to have limited influence in this model.
