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: This study investigates the negative impact of excessive social media use among college students on learning burnout and academic performance, categorizing excessive use into three types: excessive social, excessive hedonic, and excessive cognitive. Based on the SSO (Stressor-Strain-Outcome) framework, the research examines the effects of these three types of excessive use on learning burnout and academic performance. It further explores the mediating role of learning burnout and the moderating effects of mindfulness in mitigating these negative outcomes. Method: A total of 532 valid responses were collected via an online survey using standardized self-report measures to assess excessive social media use, learning burnout, academic performance, and mindfulness. Data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0 for descriptive statistics and moderation analysis, while AMOS 26.0 was employed for structural equation modeling and mediation testing. Results: Excessive social and hedonic use significantly increased learning burnout, while excessive cognitive use reduced it. Learning burnout negatively impacted academic performance and mediated the effects of all three types of social media use. Mindfulness moderated these relationships, weakening the adverse effects of excessive social media use. Discussion: The study reveals distinct effects of different types of excessive social media use on learning burnout and academic performance, underscoring the protective role of mindfulness. These findings offer valuable insights for developing interventions to enhance academic performance among college students.
