The relationship between short-video addiction tendency and inhibitory control in university students: ERP evidence from a Go/No-go task.

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
Objective: This study aimed to examine the relationship between short-video addiction tendency and inhibitory control performance among university students. Method: Based on the preset screening criteria of the Smartphone Addiction Inventory (SPAI) and the adapted Internet Addiction Test (IAT), candidate participants were screened, and 30 university students with higher short-video addiction tendency were finally included in the addiction group, while 31 university students were included in the control group. All participants completed a Go/No-go task, and behavioral indicators and event-related potential (ERP) data were collected simultaneously. Independent-samples t tests, Holm-Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons, and repeated-measures analysis of variance were used to compare the differences between the two groups in reaction time, accuracy, false alarm rate, and the mean amplitudes of the N2 and P3 components. Results: At the behavioral level, the addiction group showed numerically lower accuracy and higher false alarm rate than the control group, but after Holm-Bonferroni correction, the group differences in behavioral indicators did not reach statistical significance. In the ERP results, the mean amplitude of the N2 component was significantly more negative in the control group than in the addiction group, while no significant group difference was found in the mean amplitude of P3. Conclusion: Individuals with short-video addiction tendency showed certain trends in behavioral inhibition-related indicators, but the behavioral evidence should still be interpreted with caution. The ERP results preliminarily suggest that short-video addiction tendency may be related to insufficient conflict monitoring or control initiation in the early stage of inhibitory control.
