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

Problematic use of short video (PUSV) refers to a psychological dependency on short-video applications, characterized by an intense attachment and inability to control usage, resulting in typical addiction symptoms. Although PUSV shares similarities with substance addiction, its clinical presentation exhibits significant differences. Notably, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), and the International Classification of Diseases, 11th Revision (ICD-11), have not yet officially classified PUSV as an addiction disorder. However, the profound impact of short-video platforms on individuals' physical, mental and daily lives necessitates attention to PUSV. To enable more in-depth and standardized research on this issue, synthesizing and organizing existing studies on its theoretical foundations and mechanisms is crucial. This paper aims to integrate and evaluate existing research on PUSV from four perspectives: qualitative analysis, underlying mechanisms, negative effects and measurement tools, providing a more systematic understanding and approach to this emerging issue.
