Volitional control and cell phone addiction: development of a pathway mode.
Article in BMC psychiatry, 2026. 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
objectiveTo investigate the relationship between individual volitional control and mobile phone addiction and the potentially mediating roles of non-adaptive cognitive-emotional regulation strategies and the need for uniqueness in the relationship.
methodsParticipants (N = 1,932) completed an online questionnaire including demographic questions, the Volitional Control Scale, the Mobile Phone Addiction Scale, the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, and the Uniqueness Requirement Scale.
resultsCorrelation analyses showed that there were significant negative correlations between mobile phone addiction, non-adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies, the need for uniqueness and volitional control, and positive correlations between non-adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies, the need for uniqueness, and mobile phone addiction. Non-adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies and the need for uniqueness mediated the relationship between volitional control and mobile phone addiction.
conclusionIndividuals' volitional control can both directly and negatively predict mobile phone addiction, and indirectly influence mobile phone addiction through the multiple mediating effects of non-adaptive cognitive-emotional regulation strategies and the need for uniqueness.
