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

Background: Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) is a behavioral addiction emerging as public health issue. Its neuropsychological underpinnings remain underexplored in the Indian context. Aim: To compare neuropsychological profiles and social connectedness among normal, at-risk, and disordered gamers aged 18-25 years. Methods: Ninety video gamers were categorized using the IGD Scale and compared on impulsivity, aggression, sensation seeking, self-esteem, social connectedness, and decision-making. Results: Disordered gamers showed significantly lower self-esteem ( Conclusion: Young adults with IGD display heightened impulsivity, boredom proneness, and lower self-esteem, indicating the need for early, targeted psychosocial interventions.
