Alterations in functional connectivity in the salience network shared by depressive symptoms and smartphone overuse.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Globally, the age when children start using smartphones has decreased. Concurrently, the increased use of smartphones among children in developmental stages has caused serious effects, such as depression. While neuroimaging studies have predicted a significant overlap between the neurobiological changes caused by depression and smartphone overuse, few have simultaneously examined them. Therefore, we examined resting-state functional connectivity (FC) changes due to smartphone overuse and depressive symptoms in 69 children. We observed that FC in the salience network and regions involved in visual (e.g., the lateral occipital cortex) and motivational processing (e.g., the putamen) increased with smartphone overuse and depressive symptoms. Additionally, FC partially mediated the relationship between depressive symptoms and smartphone overuse, suggesting that changes in FC may be involved in the link between depressive symptoms and smartphone overuse. Our findings indicate that increased depressive symptoms could be associated with alterations in the salience network FC, which may influence visual attention or reward processing of salient stimuli, potentially contributing to smartphone overuse.
