Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Introduction: In contemporary society, short video addiction has become an increasingly prevalent behavioral disorder among young individuals, raising concerns about its underlying causes and development. Method: A survey was conducted on a sample of Chinese college students ( Results: (1) Negative life events exert a significant positive influence on short video addiction among young people; (2) both depression and experiential avoidance serve as mediators in the relationship between negative life events and short video addiction; and (3) beyond their independent mediating effects, depression and experiential avoidance collectively function as a chained mediating mechanism in this process. Discussion: By elucidating the dynamic interplay between external environmental stressors and internal psychological processes, this research contributes to the theoretical under-standing of short video addiction among college students. Furthermore, it provides a valuable foundation for the development of targeted intervention strategies and mental health support programs aimed at mitigating the adverse effects of negative life events on digital behavior.
