Friendship jealousy and interaction needs: how mutual friend features affect users of WeChat Moments.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Many social networking services (SNSs) have features that highlight the common friends of pairs of users. Previous research has examined recommendation systems that use mutual friend metrics, but few scholars have studied how the existence of features related to mutual friends affects users in SNSs. To explore this issue further, we conducted interviews with 22 users of WeChat Moments to investigate how certain rules involving mutual friends affect users and how they deal with the issues that arise due to these rules. We found that the three Moments rules related to mutual friends (response visibility, response notifications, and information dissemination) can cause users to feel jealous, annoyed, and embarrassed. To prevent these negative experiences, users may reduce the amount of information they disclose or the frequency of their interactions in SNSs. Based on these findings, we propose several future directions for scholars and a small number of design suggestions aimed at assisting providers to satisfy users' interaction needs.
