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 study explores the impact of gender and gratitude disposition on the effectiveness of a classroom-based gratitude intervention aimed at reducing cyber-aggression among Polish adolescents. Cyber-aggression, linked to maladjustment and mental health issues like depression and anxiety, is a growing concern. The intervention involved 548 students, divided into a control group (399) and an experimental group (149), and lasted for seven days. Participants completed the Cyber-aggression Types Questionnaire (CATQ) and a Gratitude Questionnaire. Results showed the intervention effectively reduced overall cyber-aggression, particularly aversive controlled types, but increased appetitive impulsive aggression. Girls responded better to the gratitude exercises, and those with lower gratitude levels saw the most significant reduction in cyber-aggression. However, students with medium levels of gratitude showed increased impulsive and controlled appetitive cyber-aggression. The study concludes that gender and gratitude disposition influence the success of gratitude interventions in reducing cyber-aggression.
