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

With the rapid development of short-form videos, more and more people have gained a deep understanding of the functional value of short-form videos. Based on structuration theory, this paper explores the reasons why users use short-form videos. The authors conducted a questionnaire survey on 2613 Chinese short video users, and found that bridging social capital played a mediating role between users' perceived functional value of short-form videos and their use of short-form videos. In addition, internet self-efficacy played a moderating role. This finding not only enhances our understanding of the value of short-form videos and users' relational needs, but also highlights the crucial role of self-efficacy in users' engagement with this new medium.
