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

This study explores the relationship between digital technostress and cyber moral disengagement among college students, with a particular focus on the mediating role of psychological resilience, self-efficacy, and the moderating role of online self-control. This study conducted a questionnaire survey on 1980 college students using the Digital Technostress Scale, Cyber Moral Disengagement Questionnaire, Internet Usage Self- Control Scale, Psychological Resilience Scale, and Self-efficacy Scale. The results indicate that: (1) There is a significant positive correlation between digital technostress and cyber moral disengagement; (2) The independent and chain mediated pathways of psychological resilience and self-efficacy between digital technostress and cyber moral disengagement are established; (3) The online self-control plays a moderating role in the relationship between digital technostress and cyber moral disengagement. In summary, this study highlights the mediating role of psychological resilience and self-efficacy, as well as the moderating role of online self-control. This study advances theoretical understanding of the mechanisms linking digital technostress and cyber moral disengagement, and underscores the pivotal role of online self-control in mitigating cyber moral disengagement among college students.
