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
This study aims to examine the impact of parent-child relationship on smartphone dependence among middle school students and explore the mediating role of self-respect and self-control. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using the Parent-Child Relationship Scale, Smartphone Dependence Scale, Self-Respect Scale, and Self-Control Scale with a sample of 2,311 middle school students. Correlation analysis revealed positive correlations among parent-child relationship, self-respect, and self-control. Specifically, the parent-child relationship was positively correlated with self-respect (r = 0.454) and self-control (r = 0.423), and negatively correlated with smartphone dependence (r=-0.380). Smartphone dependence was negatively correlated with self-respect (r=-0.409) and self-control (r=-0.629). Self-respect was positively correlated with self-control (r = 0.519). Structural equation modeling indicated that self-respect and self-control partially mediated the relationship between parent-child relationship and smartphone dependence. The mediation effect of self-respect was - 0.0843 (effect size = 8.99%, 95% CI=-0.1303 to -0.0379), and the mediation effect of self-control was - 0.3149 (effect size = 33.59%, 95% CI=-0.3802 to -0.2500). The total chain mediation effect of self-respect and self-control was - 0.2499 (effect size = 26.66%, 95% CI=-0.2915 to -0.2119). Self-respect and self-control serve as a chain-mediated pathway between parent-child relationship and smartphone dependence among middle school students.
