Extending the game immersion questionnaire to online users.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. 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.
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
Introduction: The Game Immersion Questionnaire (GIQ) serves as a tool for evaluating immersion within the realm of online gaming. Immersion is a crucial psychological state experienced by users interacting with digital environments, influencing their engagement, engrossment, and total involvement. While the original GIQ was structured around seven first-order factors and three second-order factors, its applicability beyond gaming contexts remains unexplored. This study extends the GIQ to capture the immersion experiences of a more expansive cohort of online users beyond gamers. Methods: The extended GIQ was administered to a cohort of active internet users from Latvia ( Results: Factor analysis revealed three first-order factors - Engagement, Engrossment, and Total Immersion - that together form a global second-order factor named the Level of Immersion in the Digital Environment. These findings align with the original hierarchical structure of the GIQ while extending its relevance to a wider population of online users. Discussion: The extended GIQ provides insights into the immersion experiences of a diverse range of online users across various digital environments. By adapting the GIQ for broader use, this study contributes to the understanding of immersion beyond gaming and supports its application in different online contexts.
