Latent profile analysis of adolescent quality of life and its associations with lifestyle behaviors.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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: Adolescent quality of life (QoL) is critical for development, yet its heterogeneity is underexplored. We aimed to identify latent QoL profiles and examine associations with lifestyle behaviors. Methods: Latent profile analysis (LPA) was performed on 7,244 Chinese adolescents (49.3% boys) using the Quality of Life Scale for Children and Adolescents. Multinomial logistic regression tested links between QoL profiles and sleep duration, physical activity, screen time, ultra-processed foods (UPF), and minimally processed foods (MPF), adjusting for demographics. Results: Five profiles emerged: Low QoL (C1), Health-advantaged (C2), Moderate QoL (C3), Low Physical and Psychological Health (C4), and High QoL (C5). Relative to C3, longer sleep duration was associated with lower odds of C1 (OR = 0.83) and C2 (OR = 0.74), but higher odds of C4 (OR = 1.26) and C5 (OR = 1.27). Higher physical activity was associated with lower odds of C2 (OR = 0.71) and higher odds of C4 (OR = 1.41) and C5 (OR = 1.62). Screen time was associated with lower odds of C2 and higher odds of C4. Greater MPF intake was associated with lower odds of C1 (OR = 0.70) and C2 (OR = 0.61), and higher odds of C4 (OR = 1.78) and C5 (OR = 1.35). Higher UPF intake was associated with lower odds of C1 (OR = 0.25), C2 (OR = 0.54), and C5 (OR = 0.56), and higher odds of C4 (OR = 1.45). Conclusion: Relative to the Moderate QoL class, lifestyle behaviors showed distinct associations with QoL profiles. Sleep duration, physical activity, and MPF intake were associated with lower odds of the Health-advantaged class and higher odds of the Low Physical and Psychological Health and High QoL classes. UPF intake was inversely associated with Low QoL, Health-advantaged, and High QoL classes, and positively associated with the Low Physical and Psychological Health class. These findings highlight the heterogeneity of adolescent QoL and suggest that interventions should be tailored to specific QoL profiles.
