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
Background: The purpose of this study was to verify the effects of smartphone usage motives on life satisfaction in older adults, and to examine the mediating effect of digital literacy in the relationship between smartphone use motives and life satisfaction. Methods: Data from 2004 participants of the 2018 Smartphone overdependence survey were analyzed by structural equation modeling. Results: Smartphone use for communication had a positive impact on life satisfaction, and smartphone use for leisure negatively influenced life satisfaction. However, smartphone use for information seeking was not directly related to life satisfaction. Communication and information-seeking use motives positively influenced digital literacy, but smartphone use for leisure did not affect. Digital literacy was also positively related to life satisfaction. Finally, communication use motives influenced life satisfaction partially mediating digital literacy, and smartphone use for information seeking influenced life satisfaction, fully mediating digital literacy. Conclusion: By explaining how smartphone use motives significantly affect senior citizens' life satisfaction, this study established the further meaningfulness of digital literacy.
