Algorithmic Entrapment the Silent Erosion of User Autonomy and Mental Health.
Article in Clinical neuropsychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 developments in the study of highly visual social media have highlighted that, far from being neutral conduits, adolescents' online environments might be curated by recommender systems that learn from behaviour. On this view, risk and benefit may depend less on time spent online than on patterns of exposure ‒ what reaches young people, how they meet it, and when in development contact occurs. For instance, in large adolescent cohorts, only 10-15% of users account for most of the association between use and distress, underscoring the relevance of heterogeneity. Similar feeds might support connection and care while, in susceptible users, amplifying appearance-centred comparison, compulsive use and contact with harmful material. A public-health perspective treats personalisation as an upstream determinant and invites proportionate responsibilities, namely transparency, independent audit and safety-by-design. Clinically, brief assessments that separate time from type of engagement, paired with low-burden, mechanism-focused interventions, could offer practical steps. Taken together, a precautionary and balanced stance should aim at keeping what is valuable online while reducing foreseeable harm through accountable design.
