The impact of smartphone addiction on creativity among college students: a moderated mediation model of negative emotion and perceived social support.
Article in Frontiers in psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Introduction: Smartphone addiction has a negative impact on creativity among college students, which has attracted extensive attention from scholars. Methods: In this study,we surveyed 2900 Chinese college students using the Smartphone Addiction Scale, Negative Emotion Scale, Perceived Social Support Scale, and Creativity Self-evaluation Scale to explore the impact mechanism of smartphone addiction on creativity. Results: Results from the hierarchical regression analysis indicated that smartphone addiction has negative influence on creativity in college students (b=-0.158, P<0.001), but positive impacts on negative emotion (b=0.568, P<0.001). The bootstrap analysis indicated that perceived social support not only negatively modulates the impact of negative emotion on creativity, but also modulates the mediating effect of negative emotion on the relationship between smartphone addiction and creativity among college students. Discussion: These conclusions extend the current research on the hazards of smartphone addiction. According to the results of this study, this article provided practical recommendations for teachers and college students in China.
