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: The study aims to explore how sensation seeking relates to college students sports lottery purchasing behavior, mediated by fear of missing out and moderated by perceived risk. Methods: A study surveyed 409 college students using various scales to assess sensation seeking, sports lottery purchasing behavior, fear of missing out, and perceived risk. Data analysis included descriptive stats, t-tests, partial correlations, mediation and moderation effects, and Bootstrap testing to understand the psychological drivers behind sports lottery purchases among students. Results: (1) Sensation seeking significantly and positively predicted college students sports lottery purchasing behavior; (2) Fear of missing out played a partial mediating effect in the influence of sensation seeking on college students sports lottery purchasing behavior; (3) Perceived risk had a moderating effect in the second half of the path of the mediating effect of fear of missing out. Conclusion: The study concludes that sensation seeking directly affects college students sports lottery purchasing behavior, mediated by fear of missing out. The mediating effect is moderated by perceived risk, highlighting the complexity of psychological factors in risk-taking behaviors. This insight calls for tailored interventions addressing these multifaceted factors.
