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 purpose of this study is to investigate the mediating role of online and offline social sensitivity in the association between online vigilance and mental health outcomes-specifically depression, anxiety, and stress-among Algerian female university students. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 438 Algerian female university students. Validated scales were utilized to measure online vigilance, social sensitivity (both online and offline), and psychological distress. Data was analyzed using correlation and mediation analyses to explore the relationships among these variables and to assess the mediating effect of social sensitivity. The findings indicate a significant positive relationship between online vigilance, social sensitivity, and mental health problems. Online and offline social sensitivity fully mediated the influence of online vigilance on stress, anxiety, and depression. This suggests that higher engagement in online vigilance increases social sensitivity, which in turn heightens vulnerability to psychological distress. This study contributes to the understanding of the complex interplay between digital behaviors, social perceptions, and mental health among Algerian female university students. By highlighting the mediating role of social sensitivity, the research underscores the necessity for interventions that address online habits and enhance social coping skills to improve mental well-being in this population.
