Short video addiction scale for middle school students: development and initial validation.
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 9 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 rise of short video platforms has increased concerns about addiction, especially among adolescents. This study aimed to develop a Short Video Addiction Scale for middle school students. A sample of 1492 middle school students participated in the study. Initial items were derived from qualitative interviews and refined through psychometric analyses, including Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analyses. The final scale, consisting of 15 items across five factors (Academic Procrastination, Interpersonal Strain, Social Communication Difficulties, Attention Concentration Difficulties, and Impaired Control over Short Video Use), demonstrated high internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.900), test-retest reliability, and strong validity. The Short Video Addiction Scale, a 15-item scale, demonstrates robust psychometric properties. It is reliable and valid for assessing short video addiction among middle school students and will be a valuable tool for identifying and addressing the growing concerns of short video addiction in adolescents.
