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
Aim: This study explores how parental attachment influence adolescents' problematic smartphone use (PSU), examining the chain mediating roles of peer attachment and online need satisfaction in this relationship. Methods: A chain mediation analysis was conducted using data collected from a sample of 1,208 adolescents who completed questionnaires assessing parent/peer attachment, online need satisfaction, and PSU. Results: The results showed that (1) parental attachment were negatively associated with PSU; (2) parental attachment influenced PSU through the mediating effect of peer attachment; (3) parental attachment influenced PSU through the mediating effect of online need satisfaction; and (4) peer attachment and online need satisfaction played a chain mediating role in the influence of parental attachment on adolescents PSU. Conclusion: These findings can help researchers and educators better understand the underlying mechanisms of the relationship between parent and adolescents on PSU and to provide practical and effective operational suggestions for the prevention and intervention of PSU among adolescents.
