1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveDespite growing recognition of gaming disorder as a mental disorder, there is still debate about how best to screen for it. This is especially relevant in countries where prevalence studies that could support evidence-based policymaking have not yet been conducted. This study aims to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Brazilian Portuguese version of the Ten-Item Internet Gaming Disorder Test (IGDT-10) and to explore its association with functional impairment.

methodsAn online convenience sample of 805 Brazilian adults who reported playing games completed the adapted version of the IGDT-10 and the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 (WHODAS 2.0), as well as the Problematic Internet Use Questionnaire (PIUQ), the Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale (CES-D), the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), and a socio-demographic questionnaire.

resultsThe Brazilian Portuguese version of the IGDT-10 demonstrated a unidimensional structure in both confirmatory and exploratory factor analyses with satisfactory internal consistency and adequate temporal stability. Participants who scored five or more on the IGDT-10 presented higher levels of functional impairment compared to those who scored positive for four symptoms or fewer. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant with a moderate effect size. Network analysis showed a direct connection between IGDT-10 scores and functional impairment and identified "negative consequences" as the most relevant item connecting these variables.

conclusionThe IGDT-10 is a brief, easy-to-understand, valid, and reliable instrument, proving to be a suitable candidate for screening gaming disorder in future epidemiological studies.
