The effect of cumulative ecological risk on migrant children's Internet game addiction: a moderated mediation model.
Article in PeerJ, 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
Background: Internet games are becoming a popular form of entertainment. However, overindulgence in online games may lead to online game addiction, which may have a negative impact on the health of adolescents. As a special group of adolescents, migrant children's Internet game addiction has also attracted much attention. This study aimed to explore the effects of cumulative ecological risk on migrant children's Internet game addiction, and to investigate the mediating role of self-educational expectations and the moderating role of gender. Methods: A questionnaire survey method was employed in this study. Using convenience sampling, a total of 314 migrant children completed the cumulative ecological risks scale, self-education expectations scale, and Internet game addiction scale. Results: The findings showed that cumulative ecological risk had a significant effect on migrant children's Internet game addiction, and self-education expectations partially mediating the relationship between cumulative ecological risk and Internet game addiction. The latter part of the mediating effect in the pathway "cumulative ecological risk → self-educational expectations → Internet game addiction" is moderated by gender. Specifically, the impact of self-educational expectations on game addiction is stronger for male students compared to female students. Conclusion: Comprehensive measures should be taken to address the problem of online game addiction among migrant children, including reducing the ecological risk faced by migrant children, raising self-education expectations and paying attention to gender differences.
