Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
The present study examined the relationships between the levels of online game addiction among university students who play online games and their life satisfaction, emotional schemas, and demographic characteristics (gender and age). Additionally, structural equation modelling was conducted to examine the mediating effect of emotional schemas in the relationship between online gaming addiction and life satisfaction. The participants of the study consist of 549 university students who are enrolled in university and play online games. In the study, data were obtained using online gaming addiction scale, life satisfaction scale and leahy Emotional Schema Scale. The results of the study indicated a positive, low-level and statistically significant correlation between the level of online gaming addiction and the emotional schemas of weakness towards emotions, demand for rationality, difference, duration, validation, seeing emotions as harmful and guilt. Conversely, there were negative, low and statistically significant correlations with the emotional schemas of rumination, difference and duration. Furthermore, it was determined that emotional schemas exert a complete mediation effect on the relationship between online gaming addiction and life satisfaction.
