When time slows down: temporal distortion and addictive social media use.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. 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
This article represents a theoretical contribution on the involvement factors involved in temporal processing related to the use of social media networking. Current literature agrees in highlighting that individuals are not very accurate in making temporal judgments with respect to the duration and progression of events, since they often tend to perceive time in an accelerated or slowed way. The temporal distortion between real time intervals and subjective perceived ones involves several cognitive and emotional biases, implicated in the modalities and frequency of use of social media. These factors, associated with particular individual predispositions, can favor the development of a problematic use of social media in terms of temporal planning and overlapping of activities. This work discusses a possible cyclical model that broadens the understanding and emphasizes the central role of temporal distortion in the onset of social media addiction.
