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
backgroundChina's migrant workers have long resided in the city's "isolated islands", facing challenges in fully integrating into urban life. This study investigates the impact of social networks on the social integration of migrant workers, focusing on the role of diverse social networks in enhancing integration.
methodsUsing 2018 CLDS data, the study empirically analyzes the relationship between social networks and migrant workers' social integration, employing endogeneity treatment, robustness testing, and Heterogeneity analysis with a 2SLS model.
resultsThe results show that social networks significantly influence migrant workers' social integration, particularly through increased participation in social organizations and activities. Moreover, diverse social networks improve social integration by enhancing social trust levels, with effects varying across age, education, living environment, and migration type.
conclusionsThese findings deepen our understanding of social integration processes and offer insights for policy interventions to promote inclusive urbanization. By emphasizing the importance of diverse social networks in fostering social participation, this study underscores the need to enhance interpersonal relationships to facilitate migrant workers' integration into urban communities. To enhance migrant workers' social integration, it is essential to enhance the institutional environment, promote communication between migrant workers and urban residents, and foster a culture of trust in contemporary society.
