1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Substance addiction (or drug addiction) is defined as a neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by a recurring desire to continue taking the drug despite harmful consequences. It is hypothesized to follow a heuristic framework that involves three stages (binge/intoxication, withdrawal/negative effect, and preoccupation/anticipation). Non-substance addiction (or behavioral addiction) mainly includes pathological gambling, food addiction, internet addiction, and mobile phone addiction. Their definition is similar to drug addiction, but differs from each other in specific domains. In this review, we have three main objectives. First, we aim to provide a brief overview of past and current definitions of substance and non-substance addiction. Second, we also touch on the topic of diagnosing drug addiction and non-drug addiction. Finally, this review focuses on furthering the understanding of the key concepts needed for a foundation to study the biological and psychological underpinnings of addiction disorders.
