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
backgroundCompulsive shopping, a dysfunctional behavior with psychological, financial, and social consequences, is a growing concern, especially among students. Given the potential influence of family functioning and fashion orientation on this behavior, the present study aims to examine the association between compulsive shopping behavior, family functioning, and fashion orientation among female students.
methodsThis descriptive cross-sectional correlational study, conducted in 2024, involved 314 female students from Hamadan University of Medical Sciences, selected through multi-stage sampling after meeting the inclusion criteria. Data were collected using a General Characteristics questionnaire, the Faber and O'Guinn Compulsive Buying Scale, the Family Assessment Device (FAD), and the Weber Fashion Interest Scale. Data analysis was performed with SPSS (version 24), including Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests, Pearson correlation, independent t-tests, one-way ANOVA, and linear regression.
resultsThe mean scores for compulsive shopping behavior, fashion orientation, and family functioning were 12.12 (SD = 6.52), 33.54 (SD = 17.29), and 23.23 (SD = 20.36), respectively. A significant positive correlation was found between compulsive shopping and fashion orientation (r = 0.510, p < 0.001), explaining 10.4% of the variance. A significant negative correlation was observed between compulsive shopping and family functioning (r = -0.323, p < 0.001), accounting for 22.4% of the variance. Fashion orientation also showed a negative correlation with family functioning (r = -0.207, p < 0.001), predicting 8.2% of the variance.
conclusionsThis study shows a significant association between compulsive shopping behavior, fashion orientation, and family functioning. Strengthening family support and implementing educational programs on consumption management and the consequences of these behaviors are recommended.
