Effects of Reducing Social Media Use in Women With Depressive Symptoms.
Article in Journal of cognitive psychotherapy, 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.

While some studies have found that SM use may modestly contribute to depression, none of these studies have examined the potential effect of this behavior in individuals with elevated levels of depression, nor has prior research addressed potential demand effects associated with SM manipulations. The aim of this study was to experimentally examine the effects of reducing SM use on depression, loneliness, social anxiety, and appearance concerns among a sample of women with elevations in depressive symptoms. Sixty-four women were randomized to either a 2-week text message-based SM reduction condition (
