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.

Abstract
The fast expansion of social media reshapes interpersonal communication, networking, and identity expression uniquely. The research explores LinkedIn's repurpose as a platform for dating intentions, challenging its conventional use as a professional networking site. By analyzing data from 331 LinkedIn users with dating intentions surveyed via an online questionnaire, the study unveils how perceived trustworthiness, safety, self-presentation, engagement behaviors, social validation, and self-confidence impact romantic pursuits. The findings suggest that trustworthiness enhances safety perceptions, which subsequently foster dating intent. Self-presentation and content engagement positively affect openness to romantic connections, while social validation boosts self-confidence. Surprisingly, self-confidence negatively correlates with dating intent, suggesting highly confident users may prioritize professionalism over personal connections. The study bridges digital marketing, social psychology, and behavioral sciences research while pioneering the burgeoning cross-purpose platform literature with substantive implications for practice and decision-making.
