Health Benefits of Social Media Use in Adolescents and Young Adults.
Review in Current pediatrics reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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 of Review: Although attention has increased on the negative aspects of social media use in adolescents and young adults, social media can have health benefits. This review explores positive health aspects of social media and delivers guidance to clinicians on how to balance attention to the negatives and positives of social media use. Recent Findings: Recent findings show social media can play an important role in social connection and identity development in adolescents and young adults. The platforms are also important for mental health support and accessing health information. Summary: Clinicians should have open-ended conversations with adolescents and young adults to understand their social media use patterns. They can use the American Academy of Pediatrics 5 Cs of media use and the family media plan to guide conversations on social media use.
