The role of artificial intelligence in general, and large language models specifically, for understanding addictive behaviors.
Review in Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Artificial intelligence (AI) presents a general-purpose technology built into diverse products including language assistants on smartphones, recommender systems in e-commerce and social media, and applications in social and industrial robotics. AI became a globally discussed topic when the large language model ChatGPT was launched in November 2022. In the aftermath, scientists in the field of (online) addictive behaviors and internet use disorders have discussed which features or modalities of AI systems underlying video games or social media platforms might result in adverse consequences for users. Therefore, the present short communication sheds light on recent discussions in the realm of addictive behaviors on the eve of the coming AI wave. Furthermore, terms such as ChatGPT addiction are critically discussed and we not only theoretically explain how different AI modalities interact with governing regulation bodies such as the EU with their AI Act, but also personal/psychological factors, paving the way to unique perceived immersive design levels.
