Article in Behavioral sciences (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Internet addiction is an emerging public health concern among adults, potentially affecting psychological well-being and sleep quality. Although a substantial body of research has focused on adolescents and younger adults, less is known about middle-aged and older adult populations. This study investigated the relationships between Internet addiction, sleep quality, and psychological well-being in 629 adults (aged 30-60 years) and examined the socio-demographic predictors of Internet addiction. Participants completed online questionnaires assessing Internet addiction, psychological well-being, and sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index). The final sample had a mean age of 39.4 (SD = 7.8), with 53.4% female participants. Most were employed (77.9%), and nearly half held an undergraduate degree (49.1%). The mean Internet addiction score was 38.1 ± 13.6. Poor sleep quality was prevalent (67.2%), and Internet addiction was positively correlated with total PSQI scores (r = 0.593;
