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
Purpose: While prior research has predominantly examined the direct effects of social media addiction, academic stress, and sleep quality on anxiety symptoms, the role of underlying mechanisms remains insufficiently explored. This study seeks to systematically investigate how social media addiction, academic stress, and sleep quality influence anxiety symptoms through the mediating mechanism of self-efficacy. Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional survey design, using stratified random sampling to recruit 469 Chinese adolescents aged 12-18. Results: After controlling for covariates such as gender, the results indicated significant correlations between social media addiction, academic stress, sleep quality, and anxiety symptoms in adolescents. Self-efficacy played a crucial mediating role in this process. Conclusion: These findings provide new insights into the causes of anxiety symptoms among Chinese adolescents and offer a theoretical basis for future psychological health intervention strategies.
