Cognitive assessment of risk-taking behavior in adults with substance use disorders and internet addiction.
Article in Indian journal of psychiatry, 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
Background: Individuals with substance use and internet addiction disorders have a greater likelihood to indulge in risky behavior and show signs of impairment in self-regulation. Risk-taking behavior depends on reward seeking, impulsiveness, and cognitive control systems such as executive functioning, cognitive flexibility, and working memory. Assessment using cognitive tasks and validated questionnaires can provide an insight into the risk-taking behavior of these individuals. Aim: To assess the risk-taking behavior in adults with substance use disorders (SUDs) and internet addiction, by both subjective and objective assessment methods compared to matched healthy controls. Methods: This cross-sectional observational study included 120 participants comprising 60 adults with SUDs (30 subjects each with opioid use disorder, alcohol use disorder (AUD)), 30 with internet addiction (IA), and 30 matched healthy volunteers. Each participant performed an objective cognitive function task (Balloon Analogue Risk Task (BART)) and subjective questionnaires were administered (risk-taking questionnaire, brief self-control scale, and Eysenck impulsivity subscale). Results: Subjects with opioid use disorder were found to have poor self-control (37 ± 9.052 vs 44.4 ± 7.686, Conclusion: Among all participants with SUDs and IA, those with opioid use disorder exhibited higher risk taking, as assessed by subjective and objective measures.
