1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Research in adolescent population is key to understand the behaviors and attitudes that can modulate their personal and social development. This research examines the mediating role of video game consumption habits (interference with other activities, interference with academic activities, degree of attraction and degree of restlessness) in the relationship between gender and attitudes towards violence among adolescents. Moreover, the moderating role of frustration tolerance in the influence of mediation effects is analyzed. The main contribution of the study is the consideration of different indicators of consumption habits that explain gender differences in attitudes towards violence among adolescents. The study comprised a total of 877 secondary school students aged 12-18 male (N = 465) and female (N = 412) adolescents. The empirical estimation uses Hayes' moderated mediation framework. The results showed that the indirect effect of gender attitudes of violence among adolescents through video game consumption habits was conditioned by the level of frustration tolerance. Specifically, when frustration tolerance is high, being female is associated with a reduction in the interference that video games produce in activities, which in turn reduces their positive attitudes towards violence. The promotion of pedagogical strategies and guidelines based on frustration tolerance in a younger population could be relevant to rejecting positive attitudes towards violence.
