Redefining psychopathology in the context of digital overload: emerging disorders in the age of information saturation.

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
The accelerating integration of digital technologies with human experience has precipitated profound cognitive, emotional, and behavioral transformations, giving rise to emergent psychopathologies that remain insufficiently addressed by traditional diagnostic taxonomies. This study introduces a novel reconceptualization of mental health in the digital era, delineating four original diagnostic categories: Cognitive Fragmentation and Digital Overload Disorders, Social Media and Immersive Technology-Induced Disorders, Technology Integration Disorders, and Symptom-Driven Disorders Requiring Diagnostic Adaptation. To explore the clinical salience of these emerging constructs, a mixed-methods pilot investigation was conducted involving a cross-sectional survey of 75 licensed mental health professionals and a retrospective analysis of 225 anonymized patient records. Findings revealed substantial clinical recognition of digital-era syndromes, with Continuous Partial Attention Disorder (CPAD) and Digital Anxiety Disorder (DAD) endorsed by 85.3% (
