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

backgroundCyberbullying represents an important concern in the modern digital scenario, which includes harassment through electronic agents, which affects the recurrent aggression and humiliation of the selected individuals. Its widespread phenomenon among young adults, especially people who are registered with institutions for higher education, emphasizes the imperative for the intensive understanding of its underlying mechanisms.

aimThe study aimed to assess the understanding of cyberbullying dynamics and risk factors and examine behavioral reactions between nursing students in Egypt.

methodsA descriptive and analytical cross-sectional design was done. A cluster of 400 Egyptian nursing students from the Faculty of Nursing at Tanta University was involved in the random trial study. Data was collected from mid-February 2025 to mid-April 2025. TOOLS: Three tools, such as the cyberbullying dynamics and risk factor knowledge questionnaire, the cyber-aggression scale, and the cyberbullying attitude scale.

resultThe study found that there was a highly statistically significant relation (P < 0.05) between cyber-aggression behavior and all items of students’ characteristics except age of studied students’ while there is a statistically significant relation (P < 0.05) between cyberbullying knowledge and age of studied students’ only. The findings suggested that cyberbullying dynamics and risk factors (χ² = 27,506, p < 0.001) and cyber activity behavior, as well as cyberbullying approaches and trust and cyber-aggression behavior (χ² = 91,460, p < 0.001), were learned.

conclusionThis study highlights the significant relationship between nursing students and cyberbullying, their approach, and participation in cyber-invasive behavior. Conclusions emphasize the need for targeted educational intervention and training programs to increase knowledge, promote a negative attitude towards online bullying, and equip future nurses with skills to effectively address the problem. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
