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

Mobile sports betting is an increasingly popular way to wager in the United States, but few studies have examined the social cognitive predictors of engaging in this specific form of gambling. The present studies were designed to do so with the application of the Reasoned Action Approach (RAA; Fishbein & Ajzen, 2010). Study 1 was a belief elicitation study that identified the most common behavioral, normative, and control beliefs regarding mobile sports betting. Study 1 also reported an initial test of the degree to which attitude, perceived normative pressure, and perceived behavioral control predict intentions to place mobile sports bets. Study 2 examined the predictive validity of the identified beliefs and tested whether future betting behavior can be predicted from the model. The RAA significantly predicted mobile sports gambling intentions and future behavior. The most important beliefs contributing to the prediction of mobile sports gambling were the degree that participants endorsed gambling is fun and easy, leads to addiction, and results in winning money. Implications for future research and interventions are discussed.
