Filtering reality: Navigating Instagram's influence on adolescent mental health.
Review in Journal of education and health promotion, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The article presents a meticulous review of the multifaceted influence on the mental well-being of adolescents. This article focuses on how Instagram affects the mental health of teenagers. The researchers looked at databases like PubMed, PsycINFO, and Google Scholar for studies on "Instagram," "adolescents," "mental health," "well-being," "effect," and "impact" from the year 2016-2023. They found 132 articles and chose 37 to study in depth. This study explores how Instagram affects teenagers' mental health positively and negatively. On the positive side, Instagram can be a platform for creativity and connection. However, excessive use can lead to depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and low self-esteem. It also sheds light on the hidden danger of cyberbullying, which is rampant on Instagram and can severely impact adolescent mental well-being. While acknowledging these risks, the article recognizes that Instagram plays a role in adolescent socialization and offers opportunities for interventions, such as vaping awareness campaigns. The report wraps up by offering suggestions for handling teen mental health in the age of Instagram. Ideas include encouraging people to use Instagram responsibly, advising parents and instructors, and outlining areas for more research. The paper highlights the need for mindful technology use on Instagram because of its possible effects on teen mental health.
