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.

Abstract
backgroundComputer games have become a significant recreational activity for individuals of all ages, particularly children and adolescents. This study aimed to predict suicidal thoughts based on computer game addiction, considering the mediating role of depression and the moderating role of the game genre among adolescents in Tehran.
methodsUsing structural equation modeling, a correlational design was considered for this purpose. The study population included 261 adolescents aged 12-18 years residing in Tehran. Participants completed the Farhadi Computer Game Addiction Questionnaire (2017), Beck's Suicidal Ideation Scale (1961), and Kutcher Adolescent Depression Scale (2002). The obtained data were analyzed using SPSS-26 and AMOS 24.
resultsThe direct paths between suicidal thoughts and computer game addiction (β = 0.17), suicidal thoughts and depression (β = 0.51), and depression and online game addiction (β = 0.70) were found to be significant. The relationship between computer game addiction and suicidal thoughts and the mediating role of depression was not significant in adventure, traditional/educational, and simulation genre groups. However, it was significant in the action genre group (β = 0.32, p < 0.05).
conclusionThese findings underscore the need for targeted interventions by counselors and psychologists to address the negative psychological effects of computer game addiction, particularly among adolescents engaging in action games.
