Sports wagering in the context of addictive disorders: results from a census-matched U.S. sample.
Article in Cogent mental health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
Recent legal cases, technological advances, and sports league administrative decisions have provided unprecedented access to various forms of sports wagering across the United States (U.S.). Such increases in access have highlighted gaps in current understanding of how sports wagering is related to a range of addictive behaviors. The present work explores how diverse forms of sports wagering are related to engagement in and symptoms of addiction to a variety of behaviors and substances. Participants were recruited by YouGov Opinion polling and taken from two U.S. samples. Sports-wagering habits, substance use patterns, and self-reported symptoms of addiction to behaviors and substances were assessed. Across behaviors measured, sports-wagering was consistently associated with greater engagement in the use of diverse substances and potentially addictive behaviors such as gaming and pornography use. Self-reported symptoms of addiction to such substances and behaviors were consistently and uniquely related to greater reports of sports wagering, except for traditional fantasy sport play. Collectively, these results suggest that sports wagering behaviors, especially traditional sports wagering, e-sports wagering, and taking part in daily fantasy leagues are often linked to a wide variety of impulsive or at-risk behaviors and may be seen as an indicator of more broad concerns with risky behaviors.
