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 and aims: With the widespread use of mobile internet, smartphone addiction among adolescents has become a major global public health concern. Methods: This study synthesizes empirical evidence to quantitatively examine the relationships among adolescent physical activity (PA), psychological resilience (PR), and mobile phone addiction (MPA), and to explore the mediating role of PR. Following PRISMA guidelines, a systematic search of five databases (PubMed, Web of Science, PsycINFO, SPORTDiscus, CNKI) yielded 58 relevant articles (63 correlation records across the three relationship pairs), comprising cross-sectional and longitudinal studies with a total sample of 98,946 adolescents and young adults. Traditional meta-analysis and MASEM were combined; a random-effects model pooled effect sizes, and a two-stage structural equation modeling approach tested mediation. Results: There was a significant negative correlation between PA and MPA ( Conclusion: PA is associated with lower MPA overall ( Systematic review registration: https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/view/CRD420261398773, identifier: CRD420261398773.
