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
objectivesThis study investigates the relationship between internet addiction and suicidal Ideations among adolescents, aiming to understand the connection between these two phenomena.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted in 2023 on 333 adolescent boys and girls aged 14 to 19, who were studying in Ahvaz city, using a cluster random sampling method. Data were collected using a multi-section questionnaire comprising demographic characteristics, internet addiction, suicidal Ideations, the adolescent depression questionnaire, and life satisfaction. Data were analyzed using path analysis modeling, Chi-square test, and Fisher's exact test, with the help of SPSS 21 and Amos version 24 software.
resultsIn total, 10.5% were regular users, 40.5% had mild addiction, 44.7% had moderate addiction, and 4.2% had severe internet addiction. The results showed that internet addiction affects negative suicidal Ideations through the mediation of depression and positive suicidal Ideations (desire to live) through the mediation of life satisfaction. The average depression score among adolescents was 8.82 ± 8.76, and the average life satisfaction was 21.25 ± 7.76.
conclusionsBased on the results of the present study, suicidal Ideations among adolescents cannot be directly attributed to their internet addiction. The component of depression acts as a mediating factor in creating negative suicidal Ideations, while life satisfaction serves as a supportive factor in the relationship between internet addiction and positive suicidal Ideations (desire to continue living) in adolescents.
