Physical exercise moderates the mediating effect of sleep quality between internet addiction and college students' academic burnout.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Internet addiction is a significant contributing factor to academic burnout among college students, though the underlying psychological and behavioral mechanisms warrant further investigation. This study investigated the mediating role of sleep quality between internet addiction and college students' academic burnout, as well as the moderating role of physical exercise on this mediation pathway. A study was conducted to assess internet addiction, sleep quality, academic burnout, and physical exercise among college students. Descriptive statistics and correlation analyses were performed on these variables, and a moderated mediation model was developed. Internet addiction was positively correlated with sleep quality and academic burnout, and sleep quality was positively associated with academic burnout. Additionally, physical exercise demonstrated negative associations with internet addiction, sleep quality, and academic burnout. Furthermore, physical exercise moderated the relationship between internet addiction and sleep quality. This study provides further insights into the psychological mechanisms underlying the relationship between internet addiction and academic burnout among college students. Sleep quality serves as a mediating factor, while physical exercise act as a moderating factor in the relationship between internet addiction and sleep quality. This study highlights the role of sleep quality and physical exercise in the relationship between internet addiction and academic burnout, offering novel perspectives and strategies for addressing these challenges among college students.
