Effects of physical activity and body mass index on sleep quality and depression among Turkish adults.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundNowadays, Physical Activity (PA) and Body Mass Index (BMI) have a significant impact on the general health status of adults. Inadequate PA and the imbalance of body weight may lead to the deterioration of sleep quality and an increase in the risk of depression. A sedentary lifestyle and obesity can adversely affect the quality of life of adults by triggering psychological and physiological health problems. In this context, this study aimed to investigate the effects of PA and BMI on sleep quality and depression among Turkish adults.
methodsIn this study, the relational screening model was used. In the study, the purposive sampling method was used, and 1191 adults (Male: 864; Female: 327) aged 18-65 years using park and recreation areas (M
resultsStatistically significant differences were found in adults' sleep quality based on their PA levels and BMIs (p < .05). Additionally, statistically significant differences were found in adults' depression levels based on their PA levels and BMIs (p < .05).
conclusionAlthough increasing the PA level has a decreasing effect on depression levels, a normal BMI ensures that depression levels are at the lowest level. In addition, a significant decrease in sleep quality was observed as BMI increased. It can be said that as PA levels increase, sleep quality increases significantly in each BMI category.
