1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Research on the risk of smartphone addiction (RSA) relies on self-reports, despite evidence that subjective and objective measures are unrelated. This study examined relationships among recorded iPhone use, perceived use, app patterns, smartphone deprivation feelings (SDF), and RSA. Methods: One hundred iPhone users (M Results: Based on the SABAS, 29% of participants were at high risk of RSA, which correlated with SDF, hedonic use, and perceived use. Objective use showed a weak association with RSA ( Conclusions: These findings suggest that self-appraised smartphone use and SDF are more closely related to questionnaire-assessed RSA than to objectively measured volume. Since RSA, perceived use, and SDF were all self-reported, the results do not imply that actual use volume is unimportant. Instead, they highlight the importance of subjective appraisal and deprivation-related experiences in RSA assessments.
