Problematic Pornography Consumption and Its Associated Factors Among Undergraduate Students of Kathmandu Metropolitan City: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Health science reports, 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
Background and Aims: Problematic pornography consumption has been linked to various physical, mental, and social issues, particularly among young adults. Despite global attention to this issue, limited research exists on its prevalence and contributing factors in Nepal. This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the factors associated with problematic pornography consumption (PPC) among undergraduate students of Kathmandu Metropolitan City. Methods: A total of 361 undergraduate students residing in hostels in Kathmandu Metropolitan City were sampled. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire, and problematic pornography consumption was measured using the Problematic Pornography Consumption Scale (PPCS). Bivariate analyses (Chi-square test and unadjusted odds ratios) and multivariable logistic regression were performed to identify factors associated with PPC, with adjusted odds ratios (aOR) calculated at 95% confidence interval (CI) and 5% level of significance. Results: Out of 361 undergraduate students, 62 (17.2%; 95% CI: 13.3%-21.3%) students were observed to exhibit PPC. PPC was found to be associated with younger age (< 20 years, aOR: 3.671; 95% CI: 1.546-8.717; 20-22 years, aOR: 2.491; 95% CI: 1.133-5.477), male gender (aOR: 6.178; 95% CI: 2.349-16.244), alcohol consumption (aOR: 2.630; 95% CI: 1.182-5.849), and poor knowledge of risky sexual behavior (aOR: 1.944; 95% CI: 1.042-3.624). Conclusion: PPC is prevalent among Nepali undergraduate students. The findings highlight the need for gender-sensitive interventions and educational programs addressing the impacts of pornography on sexual health.
