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 research aims to investigate the mechanisms through which social media overload affects learning engagement among university students. A moderated mediation model was constructed to examine the mediating role of ego depletion between social media overload and learning engagement and the moderating effects of willpower beliefs and time pressure. By using quota sampling, a questionnaire survey was conducted among 601 undergraduate students in Guangxi Province, China. The results revealed that ego depletion mediates the relationship between social media overload and learning engagement, willpower beliefs moderate the relationship between ego depletion and learning engagement, and time pressure moderates the relationship between social media overload and learning engagement. This research contributes to understanding the relationship between social media overload and learning engagement from the perspective of conservation of resources theory. The findings provide valuable insights for guiding university students in the rational use of social media to enhance their learning engagement.
