Article in Journal of Korean medical science, 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
backgroundThe prevalence of addictive disorders has surged globally, exacerbated by the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, leading to increased consumption of alcohol, nicotine, and engagement in other addictive behaviors. Considering this alarming trend, this study examined the prevalence and associated factors of addictive disorders-specifically alcohol use disorder, tobacco use disorder, and internet gaming disorder-using data from the 2021 National Mental Health Survey of Korea.
methodsThe study analyzed data from 5,511 adults aged 18-79, assessing socio-demographic information, mental diseases, physical activity levels, and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) through standardized interviews and self-reported questionnaires. Complex-sample logistic regression identified significant factors associated with addictive disorders.
resultsNSSI emerged as the most significantly associated factor, increasing the likelihood of addiction over 9-fold (odds ratio [OR], 9.26; 95% confidence interval [CI], 4.52-18.93). While walking was associated with lower odds of addiction (OR, 0.98; 95% CI, 0.96-1.00), moderate-to-high exercise (OR, 1.01; 95% CI, 1.00-1.03) was linked to increased odds of addictive disorders.
conclusionAddictive behaviors, such as NSSI and excessive exercise, are significantly associated with an increased risk of addictive disorders.
