Why can parents' phubbing affect mobile phone addiction? Perspective of the I-PACE model.

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
Objective: Based on the I-PACE model, this study investigated the longitudinal relationship between parents' phubbing and mobile phone addiction, as well as the serial mediating effects of maladaptive cognition and ego depletion. Methods: A longitudinal study, with data collected at two time points over a six-month interval to test the proposed hypotheses. The independent variable was measured at Time 1 (T1), while the mediators and dependent variables were assessed at Time 2 (T2). A total of 591 middle school students from a city in central China was recruited to complete the parents' phubbing scale, maladaptive cognition scale, ego depletion scale and mobile phone addiction scale. Results: (1) The correlation analysis showed a significant positive correlation between T1 parents' phubbing, T2 maladaptive cognition, T2 ego depletion, and T2 mobile phone addiction. (2) Maladaptive cognition was found to mediate the relationship between parent's phubbing and mobile phone addiction. Similarly, ego depletion also mediated the relationship between parent's phubbing and mobile phone addiction. Additionally, both maladaptive cognition and ego depletion functioned as serial mediators between parent's phubbing and mobile phone addiction. Conclusion: This study provides evidence that parental phubbing serves as a longitudinal predictor of mobile phone addiction, with maladaptive cognition and ego depletion acting as key mediators in this process.
