Trading Addiction in the Italian Clinical Context: A New Challenge? A Case Report.
Article in Addiction & health, 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
Background: Trading addiction is an emerging behavioral disorder characterized by compulsive engagement in stock market trading despite significant negative consequences. Currently, it lacks formal recognition in diagnostic manuals, such as the DSM-5-TR and ICD-11, complicating clinical assessment and treatment. This report aimed to highlight the clinical features, diagnostic challenges, and therapeutic considerations related to trading addiction. Case Presentation: A 35-year-old man presented with excessive trading behavior resulting in losses exceeding €150,000 (~$160,000 USD). Standardized assessments showed moderate gambling risk (Problem Gambling Severity Index [PGSI] score=7). The patient underwent a multidisciplinary treatment combining cognitive-behavioral therapy and psychosocial support over six months, achieving a significant reduction in trading frequency and improved psychological functioning. Discussion: The patient's clinical journey illustrates the diagnostic challenges in the absence of formal recognition within widely used diagnostic criteria. The patient's improvement following a tailored cognitive-behavioral approach suggests that interventions adapted from gambling disorder treatment may be effective but require further validation. Conclusion: This case emphasized the need to recognize trading addiction as a distinct clinical entity. Clinicians should consider screening for compulsive trading behaviors and advocate for the inclusion of this condition in diagnostic systems.
