Screen Time Is Associated With Cardiometabolic and Cardiovascular Disease Risk in Childhood and Adolescence.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundScreen time in children and adolescents may be linked to cardiometabolic and cardiovascular risk.
methodsWe analyzed data from >1000 participants in the COPSAC2010 and COPSAC2000 (Copenhagen Prospective Studies on Asthma in Childhood) mother-child 2000 and 2010 cohorts. Discretionary screen time, reported by parents or self, was assessed in relation to a composite cardiometabolic risk score based on
resultsEach additional hour of screen time was associated with higher cardiometabolic risk in both children (β=0.08 [0.01-0.14],
conclusionsScreen time was positively associated with cardiometabolic and cardiovascular risk, and these associations were stronger among children and adolescents with shorter sleep duration. These findings highlight the importance of jointly considering screen time and sleep patterns in the assessment of early-life risk factors for cardiometabolic and cardiovascular health.
