From problematic screen use to stress: psychological quality and academic burnout among 10- and 13-year-olds children.
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
Background: In the digital age, excessive screen-related behavior among children and adolescents has been associated with adverse psychological and academic outcomes; however, the indirect associations linking problematic screen use, psychological quality, and academic burnout remain under-explored. Aim: To examine the associations among problematic screen use, psychological quality, and academic burnout among students aged 10-13 and to test whether psychological quality and its dimensions were statistically involved in the association between problematic screen use and academic burnout. Method: A total of 476 upper-grade primary school students aged 10 and 13 were assessed using the Problematic Media Use Measure Short Form, Psychological Quality Scale, and Academic Burnout Scale. Data were analyzed with SPSS 27.0 and mediation models with Bootstrap methods. Results: Problematic Screen Use was positively associated with academic burnout ( Conclusion: Within this sample, the statistical role of psychological quality appeared to be context-dependent, with adaptability contributing to an unexpected masking pattern. The findings provide preliminary evidence regarding the associations among Problematic Screen Use, Psychological Quality, and Academic Burnout in upper-grade primary school students. They should be interpreted as cross-sectional, sample-specific associations rather than evidence of developmental mechanisms or causal effects.
