The relationship between social network addiction, online gaming addiction, and suicide ideation: mediating and moderating role of loneliness.
Article in BMC psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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.

While previous research has identified associations between these forms of behavioral addiction and increased feelings of loneliness, their role in influencing suicidal ideation (SI) remains less understood. The present study aimed to examine the correlations between SNA, OGA, and SI, with a focus on the mediating and moderating role of loneliness. Conducted as a cross-sectional, online study, we recruited 1,186 Turkish-speaking adults (68.1% female; M
