1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: The objective of this cross-sectional observational study was to examine the structural associations between demographic, family-related, psychological, and sleep-related factors and screen time among adolescents in the Fujian Adolescent Mental Wellness Study (FAMWeS). Method: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among secondary and high school students in Fujian Province, China, from May to July 2023. Primary outcomes included overall screen media use, emotional state (assessed by the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale for Youth, DASS-Y), and sleep quality (assessed by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, PSQI). Results: Analysis of 48,432 complete responses revealed that 36.5% of participants reported a daily screen time of 30 min to 1 h, while 11.3% reported more than 4 h per day. The partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) indicated that screen time was positively associated with PSQI global score (β = 0.116, Conclusion: The study identified significant associations between higher screen time, poorer sleep quality, and elevated depression and stress levels, highlighting the importance of promoting healthy screen-use behaviors and supporting adolescents' sleep quality and psychological well-being.
