Factors associated with cyberbullying and depression in cybervictimized adolescents and the role of internet gaming disorder.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
This study investigates the relationships between cybervictimization, cyberbullying, Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD), depression, and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) symptoms in adolescents with a history of cybervictimization. A clinical sample of 89 adolescents aged 12-17 years was assessed using standardized diagnostic interviews and self-report scales. Correlation and regression analyses revealed that depression severity was independently associated with cybervictimization, age, and IGD severity. Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) symptoms were significantly associated with cyberbullying perpetration, whereas cybervictimization was only related to depression severity. Additionally, moderation analyses showed that IGD did not significantly moderate the relationship between cybervictimization and depression or between ODD symptoms and cyberbullying. These findings highlight the complex interplay between psychiatric symptoms and problematic online behaviors. Our results emphasize the importance of routine screening for cyberbullying experiences in adolescents with depression or ADHD. Further longitudinal studies are needed to clarify causal pathways and inform targeted interventions aimed at mitigating the negative mental health outcomes associated with cyberbullying and IGD.
