1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: Studies have shown that mindfulness is negatively associated with Internet addiction. However, how mindfulness reduces Internet addiction remains unclear. We examined the relationship between individual mindfulness facets and Internet addiction. Methods: We used the Japanese version of the Internet Addiction Test and the Japanese version of the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) and investigated the association between Internet addiction tendency and mindfulness traits in undergraduate and graduate students (N = 134). Results: Correlation analyses indicated that the total FFMQ score and the non-judging and acting with awareness facets were negatively associated with Internet addiction tendency. Furthermore, we conducted a multiple regression analysis with all five mindfulness facets as independent variables, in which only acting with awareness was identified as a significant negative predictor of Internet addiction tendency. Conclusion: These results suggest that more effective interventions for Internet addiction may be achieved by focusing training on non-judging and acting with awareness.
