Impact of family bonding therapy on childhood screen addiction in urban Kerala.
Article in Bioinformation, 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
Excessive screen use among parents and children has emerged as a growing behavioral concern affecting family relationships and child development. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the effectiveness of Family Bonding Therapy in reducing screen addiction among parents and children in an urban community of Kerala. Hence, a total of 136 parent-child pairs were allocated to experimental and control groups, with 68 pairs in each group. Post-test assessment was conducted at the end of the intervention period. Thus, we show a significant reduction in mean screen addiction scores among parents and children in the experimental group compared to the control group (p <0.001). No significant change was observed in the control group, highlighting the importance of family-centered behavioral interventions in addressing screen addiction.
