1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Problematic gaming has emerged as a significant problem among adolescents today, yet there is still an ongoing debate over the validity and relevance of its diagnostic criteria. Some critical steps have been recommended, including examining the structure of problematic gaming and exploring its comorbidity with generalized and social anxiety. To address these research aims, this study used network analysis, both cross-sectionally and longitudinally, to identify the most central symptoms of problematic gaming and elucidate the mechanisms underlying its co-occurrence with generalized and social anxiety in adolescents. A sample of 1893 Chinese adolescents (52.85% boys, 47.15% girls; M
