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

The popularity and availability of the Internet has led to a higher frequency of online aggressive behavior, which has aroused increasing attention among researchers. The present study investigated the relationship between social exclusion and online aggressive behavior based on the general aggression model, as well as mediation through ego depletion and moderation through mindfulness. A sample of 953 college students (466 men and 487 women) were recruited to complete questionnaires that assessed social exclusion, online aggressive behavior, ego depletion, and mindfulness. The results showed that social exclusion was significantly and positively associated with online aggressive behavior and that ego depletion played a mediating role in this relationship. Additionally, mindfulness moderated the effect of social exclusion on ego depletion and online aggressive behavior. Specifically, compared to individuals with a high level of mindfulness, individuals with a low level of mindfulness who were experiencing social exclusion were more prone to experiencing ego depletion and partaking in online aggressive behaviors. This study deepens the existing understanding of the mechanisms through which social exclusion affects online aggressive behavior, which could have practical implications for the prevention of and interventions against online aggressive behaviors.
