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
objectiveIncreased screen exposure among adolescents leads to short- or long-term health problems. This study aimed to examine the mediating role of screen exposure in the relationship between sleep quality and healthy lifestyle among adolescents.
methodsThis cross-sectional and correlational study was conducted between February and May 2025 in a province in the Black Sea region of Turkey with 700 adolescents attending two high schools affiliated with the Provincial Directorate of National Education. Data were collected using the Descriptive Characteristics Form, the Richard-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire, the Adolescent Healthy Lifestyle Belief Scale, and the Screen Exposure of Adolescents (ESEA) Scale. Descriptive, Pearson correlation, regression, and mediation analyses were performed on the data.
resultsParticipants' screen exposure levels and healthy lifestyle beliefs were found to be moderate, while their sleep quality was good. Bootstrapping results revealed that screen exposure in adolescents led to a decrease in sleep quality (β = -0.091; p < 0.05). Increased screen exposure worsened healthy lifestyle beliefs (β = -0.327; p < 0.05). Sleep quality did not significantly affect healthy lifestyle beliefs (β = 0.061; p = 0.076). The study revealed that screen exposure played a mediating role in the relationship between sleep quality and healthy lifestyle (β = 0.030; 95% CI [0.008: 0.053]).
conclusionIt has been concluded that increased screen exposure affects sleep quality and beliefs about healthy lifestyles in adolescents. To improve sleep quality and healthy lifestyle beliefs among adolescents, it is necessary to reduce their screen exposure levels. Planning and implementing nursing interventions for this purpose is extremely important in terms of protecting and improving adolescent health.
