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
purposeThis study examines the moderating role of digital addiction in the effect of digital literacy on the life satisfaction of amateur athletes.
methodA correlational survey was conducted with 320 amateur athletes (151 male, 169 female) aged 15–38 from Osmaniye province, Turkey. Three validated scales measured digital literacy (α = 0.892), digital addiction (α = 0.890), and life satisfaction (α = 0.761). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlations, regression, and moderation analyses with PROCESS Macro Model 1.
resultsDigital literacy positively correlated with life satisfaction (r = .25, p < .01), while digital addiction negatively correlated with life satisfaction (r = − .24, p < .01). No significant relationship existed between digital literacy and digital addiction. Moderation analysis revealed that digital addiction partially moderates the relationship between digital literacy and life satisfaction (interaction term: β = 0.12, p = .06). Johnson-Neyman analysis indicated that when digital addiction levels exceed 1.30, the positive effect of digital literacy on life satisfaction becomes statistically significant.
conclusionDigital literacy enhances life satisfaction among amateur athletes, whereas digital addiction has detrimental effects. As digital literacy levels increase, life satisfaction improves. Educational institutions should integrate digital literacy programs with wellness strategies. Policymakers should establish guidelines for healthy technology use, while practitioners should create balanced intervention programs.
