Smartphone dependence and its influence on physical and mental health.
Review in Frontiers in psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Smartphones have become an integral part of life for an increasing number of people around the world, especially as the range and speed of smartphone functions has expanded. However, excessive use of smartphones can cause not only physical discomfort but also feelings of loneliness, anxiety, and depression. The present review explores the negative effects of excessive smartphone use on physical and mental health. It also surveys measures that can counteract these effects, which include controlling smartphone use, strengthening self-control, and engaging in physical exercise.
