Perceived physical activity barriers as predictors of nomophobia levels in sports science students.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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
Introduction: In today's world, where smartphones have become an indispensable part of life, the existence of a department for treating smartphone addiction (nomophobia) in hospitals demonstrates that this is a public health issue. Nomophobia symptoms are exhibited by individuals of almost all ages, with young people being the least able to stay away from their phones. Against this backdrop, the present study aims to investigate whether perceived physical activity barriers among students at the Faculty of Sports Sciences have a predictive effect on their levels of nomophobia. Method: A total of 570 students enrolled in the Faculty of Sports Sciences participated in the study on a voluntary basis. The Üsküdar Nomophobia Scale and the Perceived Physical Activity Barriers Scale were employed. The data were analyzed using the Jamovi (2.3.28.0) statistical program with a 95% confidence interval and a significance level of 0.05. Results: A positive moderate correlation was found between participants' nomophobia and physical activity barrier scores. The final regression model was statistically significant [ Conclusion: The findings suggest that perceived barriers to physical activity are a significant factor in predicting nomophobia among university students. Reducing these barriers and promoting active lifestyles could encourage healthier technology usage behaviors and reduce excessive smartphone addiction.
