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
Introduction: The relationship between personality traits and the growing use of social media among students has been associated with several negative outcomes such as the fear of missing out (FOM). However, studies focusing on nursing students are limited. Objective: This study explored the relationships between personality traits, FOM, and social media addiction (SMA). Furthermore, it sought to assess the mediating role of FOM in the correlation between personality and SMA. Additionally, the study examined potential gender differences in these relationships through the application of multiple-group analyses. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted over four months in 2024. Nursing students were recruited using convenience sampling. This study assessed three primary variables: FOM, personality traits, and SMA. Results: The structural model exhibited high reliability and validity, with both the SMA and FOM demonstrating robust reliability. Extraversion displayed the highest reliability among personality traits. The SMA showed a strong correlation with conscientiousness and moderate correlations with extraversion and FOM. The model fit was adequate standardized root mean square residual = .078), although the normed fit index fell below the optimal level. The SMA's R² was .345, indicating moderate explanatory power, while the FOM's R² was lower. Conscientiousness, agreeableness, and FOM positively influenced SMA, while neuroticism negatively impacted it. FOM was a significant predictor of SMA, with a more pronounced effect in females. Conclusion: This study identified a positive correlation between conscientiousness and agreeableness and SMA, while neuroticism negatively affected SMA. Additionally, FOM was a significant predictor of SMA, particularly in females. This study's findings underscore the need to incorporate personality traits and FOM into interventions targeting SMA reduction.
