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
Purpose: This study investigates the relationship between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms and problematic short-video use (PSVU) in adults, particularly focusing on the affective and cognitive processes that mediate this relationship. The research aims to clarify how different ADHD symptom domains, specifically inattention (IA) and hyperactivity-impulsivity (HI), contribute to PSVU. Patients and Methods: The study recruited 563 Chinese college students (age: mean±SD = 19.85±1.56) through an online survey platform. Participants were assessed for ADHD symptoms, PSVU, cognitive reappraisal, emotional distress (including anxiety and depression), and boredom proneness. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to analyze the mediation effects of these variables on the relationship between adult ADHD symptoms and PSVU. Additionally, the shared and distinct pathway from IA and HI to PSVU in adults were also explored. Results: The results revealed a serial mediating effect of cognitive reappraisal, emotional distress, and boredom proneness for the association between ADHD and PSVU (Estimate = 0.005, 95% CI = [0.001, 0.014]). Both IA and HI symptoms were found to influence PSVU with increased emotional distress and boredom proneness (IA, Estimate = 0.055, 95% CI = [0.021, 0.099]; HI, Estimate = 0.088, 95% CI = [0.043, 0.150]). However, divergent pathways were found by which IA increased the PSVU indirectly by heightening susceptibility to boredom proneness (Estimate = 0.044, 95% CI = [0.016, 0.086]), whereas HI primarily influenced PSVU through cognitive reappraisal, emotional distress, and boredom proneness (Estimate = 0.009, 95% CI = [0.003, 0.020]). Conclusion: These findings shed light on how PSVU develops in adults with different ADHD symptoms, which provide valuable insights for developing more targeted prevention and treatment strategies for short-video addiction in ADHD adults.
