Assessing Short-Video Dependence for e-Mental Health: Development and Validation Study of the Short-Video Dependence Scale.
Article in Journal of medical Internet research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundShort-video dependence (SVD) has become a significant mental health issue around the world. The lack of scientific tools to assess SVD hampers further advancement in this area.
objectiveThis study aims to develop and validate a scientific tool to measure SVD levels, ensuring a scientifically determined cutoff point.
methodsWe initially interviewed 115 highly engaged short-video users aged 15 to 63 years. Based on the summary of the interview and references to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) criteria for behavioral addictions, we proposed the first version of the short-video dependence scale (SVDS). We then screened the items through item analysis (second version) and extracted common factors using exploratory factor analysis (third version) and confirmatory factor analysis (final version). Convergent validity was tested with other scales (Chinese Internet Addiction Scale [CIAS] and DSM-5). Finally, we tested the validity of the final version in 16,038 subjects and set the diagnostic cutoff point through latent profile analysis and receiver operating characteristic curve analysis.
resultsThe final version of the SVDS contained 20 items and 4 dimensions, which showed strong structural validity (Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin value=0.94) and internal consistency (Cronbach α=.93), and good convergent validity (r
conclusionsWe developed a tool to measure SVD levels and established a threshold to differentiate dependent users from highly engaged nondependent users. The findings provide opportunities for further research on the impacts of short-video use.
