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: The impact of short-form video app addiction on academic performance, including academic anxiety and engagement, has not been adequately explored or addressed. Method: This study tested the effects of short-form video app addiction on academic anxiety and academic engagement and the mediating role of mindfulness in these relationships. The participants were 1,879 undergraduates in China who completed the Short-Form Video App Addiction Scale, Mindful Attention Awareness Scale, Academic Anxiety Sub-questionnaire of Academic Emotions Questionnaire, and Engagement Scales. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to analyse the data. Results: The results indicate that short-form video app addiction has significant positive effects on academic anxiety and negative effects on academic engagement. Furthermore, short-form video app addiction has significant indirect effects on academic anxiety and engagement via mindfulness. The proportions of the mediation effects are 19.23 and 51.85%, respectively. Discussion: The implications and limitations of this study are discussed.
