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
Problematic gaming is common among adolescents in clinical practice. We aimed to investigate the differences in motivational and psychological factors linked to gaming disorder (GD) with either comorbid attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or social anxiety disorder (SAD). We evaluated 90 adolescents for clinical diagnosis of GD according to ICD-11 definition, and for ADHD and SAD using a semi-structured diagnostic interview. The clinician scored the GD symptom measure according to symptoms defined in the ICD-11. Adolescent self-report on problematic gaming was also obtained by using Internet GD Scale-9 item shot form (IGDS-9-SF). Additionally, we used validated instruments to investigate motivational and psychological correlates, including motivations to play online games questionnaire-12 (MPOGQ-12), Barratt impulsivity scale-11-short form (BIS-11-SF), regulation of emotions questionnaire, Rosenberg self-esteem scale (RSE), self-efficacy questionnaire for children (SEQ-C), and social support appraisals scale. GD with comorbid ADHD was significantly positively correlated with achievement (r = 0.26, P = .01) and immersion (r = 0.25, P = .02) on MPOGQ, and total impulsivity score (r = 0.28, P = .01) on BIS-11-SF. Moreover, GD with comorbid ADHD was significantly negatively correlated with internal functional emotion regulation score on regulation of emotions questionnaire (r = -0.26, P = .01). On the other hand, GD with comorbid SAD was significantly positively correlated with immersion (r = 0.25, P = .02) on MPOGQ, and significantly negatively correlated with total self-esteem score (r = -0.24, P = .02) on RSE scale; academic self-efficacy (r = -0.23, P = .03), social self-efficacy (r = -0.29, P = .01) and emotional self-efficacy (r = -0.23, P = .03) scores on SEQ-C; and parent support score (r = -0.25, P = .02) on social support appraisals scale. Our findings exhibit motivational and psychological differences between ADHD and SAD comorbidities of GD among adolescents. Further studies are needed to explore distinct profiles.
