Attentional Bias for Internet-Related Information and Emotional Information in Internet Addiction: Moderating Role of Sleep Quality.
Article in International journal of behavioral medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundInternet addiction (IA) has been reported to be related to attentional bias for addiction-related information and emotional information. Although IA is likely to involve poor sleep quality, no previous studies have examined the interaction between poor sleep quality and attentional bias, and its relevance to IA. The present study aimed to examine the relationship between IA and attentional bias for Internet-related information and emotional information, and tested the moderating role of poor sleep quality in the relationship between IA and attentional bias.
methodA total of 71 university students participated in the study (48 females and 23 males; mean age: 20.1 years, standard deviation: 4.2 years). The participants underwent the visual dot-probe task for measuring attentional bias for Internet-related, negative, and positive information, and completed self-reported questionnaires regarding IA and poor sleep quality.
resultsThe results revealed that attentional bias for negative information and the interaction between poor sleep quality and attentional bias for Internet-related information were significantly associated with IA. Simple slope analysis revealed that attentional bias for Internet-related information was associated with IA among individuals with poorer sleep quality.
conclusionThe study revealed that attentional bias for Internet-related information was associated with IA in cases of poor sleep quality. Attentional bias for negative, but not positive, information was associated with IA, and sleep quality did not moderate the relationship between IA and attentional bias for negative information.
