Associations of Sleep Duration and Physical Activity with Academic and Physical Education Performance Among Moroccan Adolescents.
Article in Clocks & sleep, 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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesSleep duration and physical activity are important lifestyle behaviors that may influence adolescents' academic and Physical Education (PE) performance. However, evidence regarding their associations with Physical Education (PE) performance remains limited, particularly in North African populations. This study aimed to examine the relationships between sleep duration, physical activity, and academic and PE performance among Moroccan adolescents.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 439 Moroccan adolescents aged 14-20 years. Data were collected using the Arab Teens Lifestyle Study (ATLS) questionnaire. Sleep duration, physical-activity level (metabolic equivalent minutes per week [MET-min/week]), overall academic average, average grade in science subjects, and final PE grade were assessed. Pearson correlation analyses and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) with follow-up univariate analyses were performed, with Games-Howell post hoc comparisons used for PE performance.
resultsSleep duration was positively associated with overall academic average (r = 0.147,
conclusionsSleep duration and physical activity showed weak but significant positive associations with overall academic average and PE performance among Moroccan adolescents, whereas neither was significantly associated with average grades in science subjects. Combined sleep-duration and physical-activity groups differed significantly in PE performance, but not in overall academic average, with small effect sizes. These findings suggest that sleep duration and physical activity are associated with adolescent performance, although the magnitude of these associations is modest and should not be interpreted as causal. Further longitudinal research using objective measures of sleep and physical activity is warranted to clarify these relationships.
