Association of the COVID-19 lockdown and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) in Korean adolescents.
Article in Medicine, 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
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a worldwide pandemic that causes anxiety. Research on possible risk factors for anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic is scarce. In this study, we examined 54,890 participants' web-based self-reported data from the Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey in 2020. The Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 questionnaire was used to measure anxiety levels. The prevalence of anxiety (Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 score ≥ 10) was 11.2%. Anxiety in adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic was significantly associated with female gender (odds ratio [OR] = 1.29, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.02-1.09), low family affluence scale (OR = 1.17, 95% CI: 1.03-1.34), economic aid (OR = 1.11, 95% CI: 1.01-1.23), financial difficulties caused by COVID-19 (OR = 1.19, 95% CI: 1.11-1.26), substance use (OR = 1.38, 95% CI: 1.05-1.37), asthma (OR = 1.21, 95% CI: 1.08-1.37), allergic rhinitis (OR = 1.08, 95% CI: 1.01-1.15), atopic dermatitis (OR = 1.09, 95% CI: 1.01-1.17), severe stress (OR = 10.01, 95% CI: 8.40-12.03), perceived unhealthy status (OR = 1.67, 95% CI: 1.52-1.82), perceived unhappiness (OR = 2.30, 95% CI: 2.12-3.11), internet addiction (OR = 1.97, 95% CI: 1.85-2.10), school violence experience (OR = 1.59, 95% CI: 1.29-1.97), depression (OR = 2.78, 95% CI: 2.60-2.97), suicidal ideation (OR = 1.94, 95% CI: 1.79-2.11), suicidal plan (OR = 1.48, 95% CI: 1.30-1.69), and suicidal attempt (OR = 1.23, 95% CI: 1.04-1.45). These results highlight the risk factors for anxiety and offer a straightforward method for identifying teenagers who are more likely to experience anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic.
