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: As a unique socio-cultural phenomenon, idol worship plays a significant role in the development of college students' ideological and moral values. This study aims to investigate the influence of maternal overprotection on idol worship and examine the mediating roles of reactive anger and cybervictimization. Methods: A total of 847 Chinese college students (23.50% were male; Mage = 19.57, SDage = 1.25) were investigated in this cross-sectional survey from 7 to 12 January in 2024 by S-EMBU-C questionnaire, celebrity attitude scale (CAS-R), trait anger scale (TAS), and cybervictimization questionnaire, testing the chain mediating effects of reactive anger, and cybervictimization. Results and conclusion: (1) Maternal overprotection significantly positively predicted idol worship; (2) Cybervictimization played an independent mediator role in the links between maternal overprotection and idol worship; (3) Reactive anger and cybervictimization played a chain mediating role between maternal overprotection and idol worship. These findings highlighted the association between maternal overprotection and idol worship among college students, highlighting the need for integrated interventions targeting parenting styles, and online safety.
