Internet use, cultural consumption, and subjective well-being: exploring the mediating role in rural China.
Article in BMC psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeThis study investigates the impact of internet use on the subjective well-being of Chinese rural residents, with a focus on the mediating role of cultural consumption. We explore the interactions between internet use, cultural consumption, and subjective well-being.
methodsA total of 3068 samples were examined using data from the 2021 Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS), and analysis was performed through a mediation effect testing model.
resultsOur empirical analysis reveals that internet use has a significant positive effect on residents' subjective well-being. Additionally, our results indicate that cultural consumption plays a crucial mediating role in this relationship. The moderating effect of household income on the relationship between cultural consumption and subjective well-being is negative. The moderating effect of cultural consumption on subjective well-being is more significant for low-income groups than for high-income groups. DISCUSSION/
conclusionTo improve the well-being of Chinese rural residents, policymakers should focus on developing digital infrastructure and cultural policies tailored to rural populations. Increasing access to cultural activities online can bridge the urban-rural divide and enhance rural residents' quality of life.
