Physical exercise and bedtime procrastination among college students: mediating roles of self-control and mobile phone addiction.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: Sleep is a crucial foundation for maintaining both physical and mental health. Bedtime procrastination has been identified as a significant behavioral factor contributing to decreased sleep quality. Research has identified bedtime procrastination as a prevalent issue among college students, posing significant challenges to their overall health. Regular physical exercise, as a positive lifestyle intervention, may mitigate procrastination behaviors. However, the specific effects of physical exercise on bedtime procrastination among college students, as well as the underlying mechanisms, remain unclear and warrant further investigation. Objective: This study aims to examine the effects of physical exercise on bedtime procrastination in college students and to analyze the mediating roles of self-control and mobile phone addiction. Methods: A total of 1,000 college students from four universities were surveyed using the Physical Activity Rating Scale (PARS-3), the Bedtime Procrastination Scale (BPS), the College Student Self-Control Scale (CSSCS), and the Mobile Phone Addiction Index (MPAI) through online questionnaires. Results: (1) Physical exercise was positively correlated with self-control ( Conclusion: Physical exercise significantly reduces bedtime procrastination among college students. Self-control and mobile phone addiction serve as mediators in the relationship between physical exercise and bedtime procrastination.
