Prevalence and predictors of internet gaming disorder among adolescents in Northeast India: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Industrial psychiatry journal. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 gaming disorder (IGD) is recognized as a behavioral addiction with significant psychosocial implications, particularly among adolescents. While gaming behaviors have been widely studied, there is limited research on their sociodemographic and behavioral correlates in the Indian context, especially in northeastern regions. Aim: This study aims to assess the prevalence of IGD and examine its sociodemographic and behavioral correlates among adolescents in northeastern India. Materials and Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted among 538 students from five government higher secondary schools in Sonitpur, Assam. Of these, 314 gamers were included for analysis. Data were collected using a sociodemographic proforma and the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short Form (IGDS9-SF). Logistic regression was employed to identify predictors of IGD. Results: The majority of gamers were male (70.7%), aged 16-18 years (93.3%), and predominantly from rural backgrounds (77.1%). Gaming durations of 1-3 hours on weekdays (48.7%) and weekends (59.6%) were common. The prevalence of IGD was found to be 0.6%. Logistic regression identified prolonged gaming duration on weekdays ( Conclusion: This study underscores the critical role of gaming duration and parental monitoring in IGD risk among Indian adolescents.
