High School Teachers' Awareness of Internet Addiction and Related Factors Among Greek Adolescent Students.
Article in Current health sciences 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
In recent years, concerns about internet addiction (IA) have grown. The study aimed to assess to what extent teachers are informed about IA and are familiar with the internet, and to investigate their personal views and their perceptions of students' daily habits. A cross-sectional survey was conducted from Nov 2023-to-Apr 2024 across public high schools (Day Lyceums) in Crete, Greece, with high school teachers from 42 randomly selected schools completing an original structured questionnaire on internet use. Habits and IA were assessed through regression analysis. Of the 349 high school teachers with a mean age of 47.1 years (±9.1), 65.9% were female. The teachers primarily used the internet for educational purposes (70.5%) or for social media/communication (50.7%). In fourteen questions regarding IA, feeling curiosity when using the internet was the most prevalent response (74.2%), while the mean total IA score (scale 0-100) was low (36.3±14.2). Discussions with students about rational internet use were more common among female teachers in relation to male (83.9% vs. 73.9%, respectively, p=0.026), those with longer work experience (14.3 years vs. 11.4 years, p=0.014), and those who had a lower mean IA score (34.6 vs. 41.3, p<0.001). In general, teachers who discussed rational internet usage with students had a lower IA score (unstandardized β=-6.62, p<0.001). High school teachers' perceptions highlight the complex relationship between teachers and internet use. Our findings underscore the crucial role that teachers play in promoting healthy lifestyles and the need for better training in digital literacy and internet safety practices.
