Validation of the Chinese Stress Sensitivity Inventory and Its Association With Internet Gaming Disorder Symptoms.
Article in Psychiatry investigation, 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
objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the Stress Sensitivity Inventory (SSI), a self-reported instrument that assesses trait stress sensitivity in adults, and to examine the relationship between the SSI and symptoms of internet gaming disorder (IGD).
methodsThe Chinese SSI was administered, along with the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale (IGDS) and scales assessing perceived stress, anxiety, depression, and neuroticism. Data from 1,085 valid respondents (with 347 respondents who retested 4 weeks later) were analyzed. A mixed graphical model was utilized to estimate the network structure properties of stress sensitivity and IGDS symptoms.
resultsItem #5 was removed due to low coherence with other items. The scale demonstrated a unidimensional structure with strong reliability (Cronbach's α=0.90, test-retest reliability=0.75) and validity. SSI scores were positively correlated with IGDS scores (r=0.42, p<0.001). In the SSI network, items with the highest expected influence were #8 (functional impairment), #6 (cognitive decline), and #3 (mental freeze). In the SSI-IGD network, items #8 (functional impairment) and #9 (substance use) showed the strongest bridge expected influence on the SSI side.
conclusionThe Chinese SSI demonstrates good reliability and validity, making it a suitable instrument for assessing stress sensitivity in both clinical and research settings. Network analysis revealed significant interconnections between stress sensitivity and IGD symptoms, with functional impairment (item #8) emerging as a particularly influential node both within the SSI cluster and in linking SSI to IGD.
