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
Purpose of the Review: This systematic review and meta-analysis examined whether gambling behavior is associated with neurocognitive deficits across executive function, decision-making, delay discounting, and reward sensitivity, and whether these deficits support the dual-process model of addiction. Collection and Analysis of Data: PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science were searched on September 1, 2024. Observational studies including individuals with gambling behavior identified using Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)/International Classification of Diseases (ICD) criteria and/or standardized screening instruments were eligible. Risk of bias (ROB) was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) checklist (cross-sectional studies). Random-effects meta-analyses using Hedges' Results: Of 12,488 records, 76 studies ( Conclusions: Findings indicate impairments in controlled and automatic processes, partially supporting the dual-process model of gambling disorder; however, heterogeneity and task-specific effects warrant caution.
