Physical complaints and emotional symptoms in the context of series watching: a multicenter latent profile and network analysis in Brazil and Canada.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 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
Introduction: Few studies have examined the physical complaints, emotional aspects, behavioral indicators, and quality of life associated with series watching (PCSW) across cultural contexts. Methods: This multicenter, cross-sectional study investigated latent profiles of PCSW and their associations with emotional variables, smartphone addiction, food addiction, quality of life, and series-watching intensity (SWI) among university students in Brazil ( Results: A latent profile analysis identified three profiles characterized by high (HPC), moderate (MPC), and low (LPC) levels of physical complaints. The HPC profile exhibited poorer emotional and behavioral indicators, higher levels of smartphone and food addiction, lower quality-of-life scores, and greater SWI. Spearman correlations revealed positive relationships between PCSW, emotional symptoms, emotion dysregulation, problematic smartphone use, and food addiction indicators, as well as negative relationships with quality of life. Network analysis indicated that depression, stress, and emotion-regulation difficulties formed a central core, with PCSW showing more peripheral connections to this core, particularly in relation to problematic smartphone use and emotion regulation. These connections were broadly similar across countries, with slightly stronger associations in Brazil and greater importance of addictive eating indicators in Canada. Discussion: Our findings indicate that emotional and technological factors are associated with PCSW, underscoring the importance of emotion regulation, smartphone use, and SWI for students' wellbeing.
