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

The growing prevalence of gaming disorder (GD) in adolescents is a global concern. Despite parents' critical role in addressing GD, how dysfunctional parenting practices are associated with adolescent GD remains understudied. This study assessed the association between dysfunctional parenting practices and adolescent GD among Japanese male junior high school students. Data were collected in 2024 via web-based, self-administered questionnaires from 300 parents (183 fathers and 117 mothers), each reporting on one male junior high school student. Suspected GD was assessed using a validated parent report measure (i.e., the Gaming Disorder Scale for Parents). Dysfunctional parenting practices were measured using the Parenting Scale, comprising two dimensions: Overreactivity and Laxness. Mean factor scores of Overreactivity and Laxness were compared between the suspected and non-suspected GD groups using a
