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.

Abstract
Introduction: The pervasive use of social media has become an integral part of daily life, influencing various aspects of individual and relational well-being. Among married couples, the impact of social media is particularly significant, as excessive engagement with social media platforms may lead to diminished self-esteem and lower life satisfaction, both of which are essential components of a healthy and fulfilling marriage. Objective: To assess the impact of social media addiction on self-esteem and life satisfaction among married couples. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 385 married individuals, predominantly residing in Gurugram, Haryana. The impact of social media addiction on self-esteem and life satisfaction among married couples was measured using the Social Media Addiction Scale (SMAS), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), and Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS). Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The results indicated that the majority (44.9%) of married couples were "little addicted" to social media, while only (14.3%) showed moderate to high levels of addiction. A significant negative correlation was found between social media addiction and life satisfaction (r = -0.519, Conclusion: Social media addiction is significantly influenced by self-esteem and life satisfaction. Specifically, higher levels of self-esteem and lower levels of life satisfaction are associated with increased social media addiction. Well-balanced social media usage among married couples is essential to enhancing marital satisfaction and overall well-being.
