1:\xa0A link between childhood \u201cscreen time\u201d and attention problems has - say it with me -\xa0failed to replicate. The paper is especially interesting for using a \u201cmultiverse analysis\u201d:

We evaluated 848 models, including logistic regression as per the original paper, plus linear regression and twoforms of propensity score analysis. Only 166 models (19.6%) yielded a statistically significant relationship between early TV exposure and later attention problems, with most of these employing problematic analytic choices.

If I had the energy to look through 848 models and see which ones got significant findings and which ones didn\u2019t, I bet I would become enlightened by the end of it.
