Determinants and relationships of digital addiction, diet quality, and physical activity in adolescents.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Objective: Digital addiction, defined as spending excessive time on digital devices and online platforms, is a global problem that particularly affects young people. This form of addiction can lead individuals to a sedentary lifestyle while also increasing the risk of them turning to unhealthy and ready-made foods. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of digital addiction among Turkish adolescents. We also aimed to determine the relationships between digital addiction, adherence to the Mediterranean diet, and physical activity, and to determine the extent to which these variables mutually predict each other. Method: The data of this cross-sectional study were collected from 400 high school students through a survey. The survey included general information, dietary habits, the Digital Addiction Scale (DAS), the Mediterranean Diet Quality Index (KIDMED), the Leisure Time Exercise Questionnaire (LTEQ), and the Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale (PACES). IBM SPSS 25.0 software was used for data analysis. Results: Of the students, 23.8% had a digital addiction. Eating during social media use (Beta = 0.158) and night eating habits (Beta = 0.337) positively affected the DAS scores ( Conclusion: Approximately a quarter of students had digital addiction symptoms. Digital addiction levels tended to decrease as Mediterranean diet adherence and physical activity levels increased. A holistic healthy lifestyle curriculum can be designed to promote healthy eating habits and physical activity among young people, reduce screen time, and increase media literacy. This curriculum, designed for implementation in schools, can support students in engaging in mindful behaviors.
