Adolescent Cyberbullying and Cyber Victimization: Longitudinal Study Before and During COVID-19.
Article in Journal of medical Internet research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
backgroundAdolescent cyberbullying has been a persistent issue, exacerbated by the shift to remote learning and increased screen time during the COVID-19 pandemic. These changes have sparked concerns about potential increases in cyberbullying and its associated risks.
objectiveThis study aims to explore how factors such as age, exposure to violent media, parental communication quality, internet access, sex, and sibling relationships influence cyberbullying behavior at school. Additionally, we examine how the COVID-19 pandemic may have altered these dynamics.
methodsLeveraging a panel dataset, we examine the same group of adolescents both before and during the pandemic. The analysis focused on identifying relationships between the selected factors and cyberbullying perpetration and victimization, with an emphasis on the dynamics introduced by the COVID-19 pandemic.
resultsPerceived quality of parental communication was found to reduce the risk of both cyberbullying perpetration and victimization, with the former effect becoming more pronounced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Exposure to violent media increased both cyberbullying perpetration and victimization, but the effect on perpetration decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic. The well-established correlation between internet access and both cyberbullying perpetration and victimization remained unaffected by COVID-19. Surprisingly, adolescents with siblings were less likely to become victims or perpetrators of school-related cyberbullying, irrespective of the pandemic.
conclusionsIn hindsight, COVID-19, functioning as a kind of natural experiment, has provided us with a unique opportunity to examine the effects of a global event, forcing major behavioral changes on the persistent challenge of cyberbullying in middle schools.
