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

objectivesSmartphone addiction is the loss of self-control resulting from excessive use of smartphones and is the most challenging addiction to daily life among technology addictions. Some studies explain the relationship between smartphone addiction and academic achievement. The purpose of this research is to examine the mediating effect of academic resilience, test anxiety, and general self-efficacy in the association between academic achievement and smartphone addiction.

methodsA total of 828 seventh- and eighth-grade students from seven different cities in Turkey participated in this study. To test the theoretical model proposed, the PROCESS macro for SPSS was performed to examine the chain mediation model (model 6) using 10,000 bootstrapping.

resultsThe effect of smartphone addiction on academic achievement is negative and statistically significant. General self-efficacy did not play a mediation role in the relationship between smartphone addiction and achievement in school, but academic resilience and cognitive test anxiety did.

conclusionsCognitive test anxiety and academic resilience mediated the relationship between smartphone addiction and academic achievement. It is thought that these findings will guide teachers and school administrators trying to increase academic achievement.
