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
Internet gaming disorder (IGD) affects 3% of the global population and poses an increasing risk due to advancements in technology. However, there is currently no definitive treatment for this condition. IGD is not a primary disorder but rather a result of "self-prescription" in response to emotional stressors. Unlike conventional mental health treatments that focus on the disorder itself, it is crucial to provide alternative activities that can alleviate negative emotions. This paper extends the concept of the self-medication hypothesis and integrates it with cognitive models of cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy. In addition, it introduces the mindfulness-based cognitive therapy-game (MBCT-G), a program designed to explore alternative activities through gaming, focusing on the processes of response and reward, which are not typically emphasized in traditional treatments. This study serves as the theoretical foundation for the development of MBCT-G. MBCT-G aims to train individuals in positive coping strategies that alleviate psychological distress, offering a novel approach to treating self-prescription disorders such as IGD.
