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
Introduction: The retiree group tend to suffer "digital gap" and "digital indulgence" at the same time. This study aims to examine how such double-edged effects will shape the social integration of retirement migrants. Based on the Self-Determination Theory and the Uses and Gratifications Theory, a conceptual framework was proposed where the impact of digital literacy is mediated by tourist empowerment and smartphone addiction. Methods: This framework was tested using survey data gathered from 369 Chinese retirement migrants. Data were collected using convenience sampling and analyzed using SPSS 23.0 and AMOS 23.0. Result: Findings reveal the following key insights: (1) Digital literacy significantly enhances the social integration of retirement migrants; (2) Tourist empowerment acts as a mediator in the positive correlation between digital literacy and social integration; (3) Smartphone addiction detrimentally influences the lifestyle habits dimension of social integration among retirement migrants. Discussion: This study was amongst the first to approach the double-edged effects of digital literacy, and the findings could be conducive to improving the welfare of retirees.
