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

Problematic smartphone use (PSU) may affect how adolescents organize and experience everyday occupations, yet evidence on occupational balance in school populations is limited. This cross-sectional study examined the association between PSU and occupational balance among 2681 students from six public high schools in Istanbul, Türkiye. PSU was assessed with the Smartphone Addiction Scale (SAS) and occupational balance with the Adolescent Occupational Balance Scale (A-OBS). The A-OBS total score was the primary outcome, and its four dimensions were secondary outcomes. In the common complete-case sample (
