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 the wake of current events, the question arises as to the possible psychological and biological consequences of playing violent video games. This area of research has grown enormously in recent decades, with several hundred publications examining a total of over 100,000 study participants. Various meta-analyses in recent years have repeatedly demonstrated a statistically significant aggression-promoting effect of playing violent video games. Nevertheless, controversies continue to arise in this field. Studies on possible biologically measurable changes in the brain have produced mixed results. The following review article provides a brief overview of the current state of this research area. The discussion addresses methodological difficulties, further open questions, hypotheses regarding the nature of the aggression-promoting effect, sociopolitical aspects, and possible conclusions.
