Physical activity, sleep, dietary habits, and screen time in Bogotá's children post-pandemic lockdown: a mixed-methods study.

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
purposeThis study explored how Bogotá's children reconfigured their post-lockdown routines as part of their lived experience after returning to in-person activities.
methodsA mixed-methods design was applied to capture behavioral patterns and their meanings. Quantitatively, 217 children aged 8-12 years attending pediatric clinics (Oct 2022-Sep 2023) completed validated questionnaires assessing physical activity, sleep, diet, and screen exposure. Qualitatively, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 children selected through purposive sampling to deepen insight into their daily routines and perceptions. Quantitative data were analyzed descriptively and by sex, while thematic analysis of interviews provided contextual interpretation. Integration occurred through a narrative weaving approach.
resultsQuantitative findings indicated moderate physical activity (66% met ≥ 3 days/week), widespread sleep disturbances (49.7%), recreational screen use (median= 6 hours/day), and poor dietary intake (>90% consumed fewer than two vegetable servings daily). Narratives revealed that play was often replaced by structured adult-imposed activities, screen time served as both emotional refuge and behavioral reward, and sleep was self-managed through distractions such as eating or watching TV. Children viewed these habits as normal despite feelings of fatigue, frustration, and a longing for autonomy.
conclusionChildren's post-lockdown routines reflect adaptation rather than behavioral lapses, requiring interventions focus on emotional regulation, time balance, quality rest, and active play (not merely a return to pre-pandemic norms).
