Media Parenting Practices and Early Adolescent Cyberbullying: Findings From the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study.
Article in The Journal of adolescent health : official publication of the Society for Adolescent Medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeTo determine associations between media parenting practices and cyberbullying in a national cohort of early adolescents.
methodsWe analyzed cross-sectional data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study (N = 9,686; 48.2% female, 44.7% non-White), Year 3 (2019-2022, 11-15 years). Media parenting practices were assessed for the following: screen time modeling, mealtime screen use, bedroom screen use, screen use for behavior management, monitoring screen time, and limiting screen time. Logistic regression models were used to determine associations between media parenting practices and cyberbullying victimization and perpetration, adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics.
resultsParental allowance of mealtime screen use (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 1.14), bedroom screen use (AOR 1.31), and screen use for behavior management (AOR 1.18) were associated with higher odds of cyberbullying victimization. Greater allowance of bedroom screen use was associated with higher odds of cyberbullying perpetration (AOR 1.44). Greater restriction of screen time (AOR 0.80) was associated with lower odds of cyberbullying victimization. Daily active screen time partially mediated these associations. DISCUSSION: Media parenting practices had stronger associations with cyberbullying victimization compared to perpetration. The significant mediation effect of active screen time indicates the importance of the amount of time on screens, which likely enables greater exposure to cyberbullying behaviors. Based on current pediatrics guidelines, parents may consider discussing how to safely navigate digital media and promote positive, respectful digital environments to minimize cyberbullying exposure behaviors. Our findings reinforce elements of the American Academy of Pediatrics' family media plan, including considering limiting bedroom, mealtime, and general screen use.
