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
Physical and psychological abuse (physical-psychological abuse) can easily cause individual's future social network sites addiction (SNSA), and the psychological and behavioral mechanisms between the two need to be further explored. This study took physical-psychological abuse as the independent variable. SNSA as dependent variable to explore the relationship between the two and the intermediary variable adjustment. In March 2024, a cross-sectional survey was conducted in universities of seven provincial administrative units in China, and a total of 1484 (804 males; 680 females) valid data were collected. Data on physical-psychological abuse, SNSA, depression and physical exercise were collected. These variables were subsequently correlated and a moderated mediation model was constructed. The results showed that the physical-psychological abuse positively predicted SNSA in college students, and mediated through the depression. In addition, the predictive effect between physical-psychological abuse and depression in college students could be moderated by physical exercise. This study further explored the association between physical-psychological abuse and SNSA in college students, considering the mediating effect of depression and the moderating effect of physical exercise. The results suggest that college students who have experienced physical-psychological abuse should pay attention to the use of social network sites, and can alleviate the negative results caused by physical-psychological abuse through active physical exercise.
