Article in Industrial psychiatry journal, 2023. 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.

Abstract
Background: With the advent of smartphones, there is an exponential increase in mobile usage and addiction. The statistics pointing toward mobile dependence in adolescents are of paramount importance to assess the prevalence in them and suggest measures accordingly. Aim: To observe the usage and dependence among the degree college students in an industrial township. Materials and Methods: A validated and structured questionnaire was distributed among the students at a women's degree college in western Maharashtra and responses were collected after obtaining consent. Along with sociodemographic details, qualitative and quantitative information regarding mobile usage were collected. Data were cleaned, coded, and analyzed after ensuring the confidentiality of their information using SPSS v26.0. Results: The mean age of the participants was 18.9+/-1.8 years. The mean time spent on mobile was 2.4+/-0.4 hours per day. Mobile dependency was found in 48% of participants. The mean total score was 92. The primary purpose for using the internet was to browse (41%) and social media 36%. The main benefit of using the internet was searching for information urgently (62.5%). A major limitation of using was felt as the internet to be very slow 61 (42.3%). Conclusion: There is a high prevalence of smartphone dependence in college students.
