1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 investigates how self-presentation on social networks suppresses the relationship between interpersonal distress and emotional experience among college students. It also examines the moderating role of internet addiction tendency. A total of 153 college students were surveyed over 8 days. The results showed the following: (1) interpersonal distress is negatively correlated with positive emotions; (2) at both the inter-individual and intra-individual levels, self-presentation on social networks suppresses the negative relationship between interpersonal distress and positive emotions; (3) internet addiction tendency only moderates the relationship between interpersonal distress and self-presentation on social networks at the inter-individual level. These findings suggest that colleges and universities can guide students to use resources on social networks as a means of coping with interpersonal distress.
