The Spanish Version of the Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale (BSMAS): Validity, Reliability and Measurement Invariance Across Gender in a Sample of Young Adults.
Article in The Psychiatric quarterly, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Problematic social media use (PSMU) has become a significant focus of research, particularly among young adults, due to its association with behavioral addiction and its potential effects on well-being. The Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale (BSMAS) is a widely recognized tool for assessing PSMU. This study sought to adapt the BSMAS to Spanish and evaluate its psychometric properties in a sample of Spanish young adults.Results demonstrated that the Spanish BSMAS shows adequate reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.85) and suggests a one-dimensional structure of problematic social media use (χ
