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

backgroundThe aim of this study is to compare marital satisfaction, occupational balance, and nomophobia among parents.

methodThis cross-sectional study included 200 parents (100 mothers and 100 fathers) forming 100 married couples aged 35-40 years. Data were collected using the Nomophobia Questionnaire, the Marital Satisfaction Scale, and the Occupational Balance Questionnaire, all of which have demonstrated good validity and reliability in Turkish populations.

resultIt was found that women's nomophobia levels were higher (p = 0.002) and their marital satisfaction (p = 0.048) and occupational balance (p = 0.029) were lower than men. Participants with mild nomophobia showed higher occupational balance and marital satisfaction scores compared to those with higher levels of nomophobia (p < 0.05). No significant difference was found between moderate and severe nomophobia groups (p > 0.05).

conclusionThe findings indicate that women experience lower levels of occupational balance and marital satisfaction compared to men. Nomophobia emerges as a psychosocial factor that may adversely affect marital relationships and daily life balance among parents. Incorporating family- and community-based strategies to promote digital well-being and responsible smartphone use could contribute to healthier family functioning and improved parental quality of life.
