Centre for Advanced Research on Addictive Behaviors: a national framework for digital wellness and youth mental health targeting behavioral addictions in India.
Article in Frontiers in psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Digital wellness and digital technology related addictions have emerged as critical public health research priorities in India, especially given the growing impact of behavioral addiction on youth mental health. The Centre for Advanced Research on Addictive Behaviours (CAR-AB) aims to promote safe digital technology use and enhance digital well-being among Indian youth. CAR-AB was conceptualized at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, in collaboration with leaders from health, public health, technology and education sectors and with the funding support from the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR). CAR-AB aims to establish a scientific, systematic, and sustainable framework for addressing addictive behaviors and promoting digital and overall well-being among Indian youth. CAR-AB is intended to develop and evaluate AI-based predictive models; validated intervention packages; training and capacity-building toolkit; national resource center on addictive behaviors; and policy and programmatic recommendations. CAR-AB envisions "Digital Wellness for All" by promoting safe and healthy use of digital technology.
