The lagged effects of parent-child relationship on internet addiction: parallel mediation of psychological need frustration and self-esteem.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundAdolescent Internet addiction has emerged as a major social and public health concern worldwide. Previous studies have indicated that parent-child relationship plays a crucial role in adolescent Internet addiction. However, most of these studies have adopted a cross-sectional design, making it difficult to reveal the lagged effects of the parent-child relationship on adolescent Internet addiction and its underlying developmental mechanisms.
methodsThis study conducted a three-wave survey over one year, employing cluster sampling between October 2023 and October 2024. The survey assessed parent-child relationship, Internet addiction, basic psychological need frustration, and self-esteem among 2,483 adolescents (M
results(1) The lagged effect of T1 parent-child relationship on T3 Internet addiction was significant (β = -0.20, SE = 0.03, p < 0.001). (2) T2 basic psychological need frustration (β = -0.06, SE = 0.01, 95% CI: -0.08, - 0.04) and T2 self-esteem (β = -0.02, SE = 0.01, 95% CI: -0.04, - 0.01) served as parallel mediators in the lagged effect of T1 parent-child relationship on T3 Internet addiction.
conclusionsThese findings provide empirical evidence for preventing and intervening in adolescent Internet addiction and hold significant implications for reducing its risk.
