Mental health issues linked selfie addiction among South Indian college students.
Article in Bioinformation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Selfie addiction is a behaviour involving excessive selfie taking and sharing to obtain validation and acceptance on social media and it has been understudied. We used a simple random sampling method to recruit 165 students who were assessed for selfie addiction behaviour using Selfitis Behaviour Scale (SBS) before and after undertaking lecture series about selfie addiction. Data shows a significant reduction (t=12.119, p=0.0001) in mean SBS scores post-test (38.35±10.69) when compared to pre-test (57.20±18.44). Female gender was significantly associated with intensity of selfie addiction behaviour pre-test (p=0.0001), number of selfies clicked per day (p=0.0001) and where the selfies are posted (p=0.007). Thus, acute selfie addiction behaviour was manifested by most students which reduced significantly with teaching strategies.
