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
objectiveTechnology addiction is an increasingly important public health problem all over the world that negatively affects people's mental and physical health. In this study, we examined technology addiction and social connectedness levels of psychiatric patients who admitted to clinics in different geographical regions of Turkey.
methodsA total of 642 people with a diagnosis of psychiatric illness who applied to psychiatry clinics in İstanbul, Elaziğ, Malatya, Yozgat, Adıyaman, and Bingöl provinces were included. Sociodemographic data form, Technology Addiction Scale (TAS), and Social Connectedness Scale (SCS) were applied to all participants.
resultsThe total score of the TAS in patients diagnosed with anxiety disorder and somatoform disorder was significantly higher than the other patient groups (p<0.001). Patients diagnosed with anxiety disorder showed a significant difference from other patient groups in terms of SCS score (p<0.001). Anxiety disorder was found to be the highest in TAS total score and sub-dimensions and the lowest in SCS score, while major depressive disorder was found to be the lowest in TAS total score and sub-dimensions and the highest in SCS score. The multiple linear regression analysis showed that the total score of the TAS was predicted by the SCS score (β=-1.857, p<0.001) and the SCS score was predicted by age (β=0.046, p=0.049) and the total score of the TAS (β=-0.316, p<0.001).
conclusionAs a result of this study, we can say that psychiatric patients have a moderate level of technology addiction, these people have high levels of social connectedness, and psychiatric patients with technology addiction have a high level of social belonging.
