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: Pornography addiction is a growing public health concern worldwide, with increasing recognition of its prevalence and consequences in India. This study explores the onset, manifestation, and impact of pornography addiction within the Indian context, addressing the need for culturally relevant research. Method: A retrospective, observational, cross-sectional study was conducted using data from 589 individuals who sought treatment for pornography addiction through online and offline healthcare platforms. Patients aged 18 and older were included based on the International Classification of Diseases, 11th Revision (ICD-11) diagnostic criteria for Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder (CSBD) (6C72). Data on demographic factors, clinical diagnoses, and treatment outcomes were analyzed using International Business Machines Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (IBM SPSS). Participants received either pharmacological treatment, psychotherapy, or a combination of both. Results: The sample included 589 participants, predominantly male ( Conclusions: Pornography addiction in India is shaped by age, relationship status, and cultural context. These findings underscore the need for age-targeted, culturally informed interventions. Future research should examine longitudinal trends and psychiatric comorbidities to guide comprehensive treatment planning.
