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
Using social networks as one of the new instruments of information and communication technologies in recent years has gained popularity. Social networks are used in various political, social, cultural, and educational fields. In education, students increasingly use social networks to create and maintain social relationships and support informal learning methods. The current study investigated the relationship between the use of social networks and academic engagement in Chinese EFL language learners. Using a convenience sampling method, the researcher invited 591 EFL students from Guangdong Province, China to participate in the study. The participants consisted of 307 male learners and 284 female learners, of whom 345 (58.38 %) were B.A., 234 (39.59 %) were M.D. and 2.03 % were Ph.D. To obtain the necessary data, the researcher employed two questionnaires. The researcher distributed the questionnaires that were Social Network Usage Questionnaire and Academic Engagement Questionnaire to the participants. Employing the multivariate regression method and Pearson correlation coefficient in SPSS and Amos, the researcher analyzed the collected data. The results show that there is a significant and positive association between learners' social network usage, their ethnographic factor (age), and their academic engagement. However, other ethnographic factors such as gender and educational level do not affect learners' social networks usage. Also, there is a significant and positive association between the amount of use of social networks for entertainment and components of academic engagement which are cognitive, emotional, and socio-behavioral factors. The use of technology, especially the use of social networks, enhances learners' academic engagement and increases their motivation, energy, and mastering abilities. They provide the ability to easy access for all learners and provide personalized/individual course materials.
