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.

Abstract
backgroundThis study aims to assess internet addiction among adolescents with functional constipation and its relationship with sociodemographic and family factors.
methodsIn this case-control study, 57 and 35 adolescents with and without functional constipation, respectively, were recruited. Functional constipation was diagnosed by applying the Rome IV criteria. Previously validated Young's Internet Addiction Test-Short Form and Parent-Child Internet Addiction Test were completed, and sociodemographic data forms were filled out by all participants.
resultsAccording to the Parent-Child Internet Addiction Test questionnaire, 8.8% (n = 5) of the adolescents with FC suffered from internet addiction, whereas none of the healthy adolescents had internet addiction. The Young's Internet Addiction Test-Short Form survey reported internet addiction among 19.3% (n = 11) of the constipated adolescents and 17.1% (n = 6) of the healthy peers. The ratio of adolescents with limited symptoms and internet addiction in the functional constipation group was as high as 40.4%, according to Young's Internet Addiction Test-Short Form, and adolescents with functional constipation accompanied by pathological and problematic internet use was 24.6%, according to Parent-Child Internet Addiction Test. Although there was no significant difference in the internet addiction ratio between functional constipation and controls, our findings indicated that adolescents with functional constipation were suffering from high internet addiction rates.
conclusionThe evaluation of Young's Internet Addiction Test-Short Form and Parent-Child Internet Addiction Test surveys showed high internet usage problems, 40.4% and 24.6% in adolescents with functional constipation. According to adolescents' self-assessment, the internet addiction rate is higher but not significantly higher than their healthy peers. Therefore, internet addiction should be considered while treating adolescents with functional constipation, and clinicians should consider the opinions of adolescents besides their parents.
