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
backgroundThis study investigates the relationship between family life satisfaction and game addiction, with a focus on the moderating role of social exclusion and gender, and the mediating effect of social exclusion. The main objectives were to investigate (1) whether social exclusion moderates the relationship between family life satisfaction and game addiction, (2) whether family life satisfaction affects game addiction indirectly through social exclusion, and (3) whether gender moderates the indirect effect of family life satisfaction on game addiction via social exclusion.
methodsData were collected from 423 adolescents (56.7% female, 43.3% male) aged 14-18. Participants completed the Family Life Satisfaction Scale, the Game Addiction Scale for Adolescents, and the Ostracism Experience Scale. Moderation, mediation, and conditional process analyses were conducted using the PROCESS macro in SPSS.
resultsSocial exclusion significantly moderated the relationship between family life satisfaction and game addiction. Adolescents with lower family life satisfaction and higher levels of social exclusion exhibited greater game addiction. Social exclusion also partially mediated the relationship between family life satisfaction and game addiction. Gender moderated the indirect effect of family life satisfaction on game addiction through social exclusion.
conclusionThese results highlight the critical roles of family dynamics, social exclusion, and gender in understanding game addiction among adolescents.
