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
A significant body of research has documented the aggressive and antisocial tendencies of individuals with dark triad personality traits. Although the prevalence of dark personalities in online environments is often criticized, there is a need to explore effective strategies to mitigate or stop such behaviors. This study aims to shed light on the intriguing phenomenon of "Giants on the Internet, cowards in real life" by examining the longitudinal relationship between dark triad traits, bullying victimization, and cyberbullying. Study 1 revealed that adolescents tend to display heightened tendencies towards cyberbullying after experiencing real-life victimization. Study 2, on the other hand, showed a reduction in cyberbullying behaviors among those with dark triad traits following experiences of bullying. These findings highlight the paradoxical mechanisms underlying the relationship between bullying victimization, dark triad traits, and cyberbullying. Consequently, this study introduces the new label, "From Online Aggression to Offline Silence," to describe this dynamic.
