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
backgroundWhile many studies have examined the relationships between the Big Five traits, and Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) and Social Media Addiction (SMA), limited studies have considered the Big Five facets (i.e., narrowly defined traits).
aimsThe current study aims to contribute to the literature by examining the relationships between the Big Five traits and facets, and IGD and SMA among adults in the general population.
methodParticipants were a convenience sample of 246 gamers and/or social media users. Their age ranged from 18 to 88 (
resultsAt the trait level, the results showed that conscientiousness and negative emotionality were protective and risk factors for IGD and SMA, respectively. Furthermore, agreeableness was a protective factor for IGD whereas extraversion was a risk factor for SMA. At the facet level, trust, respectfulness, and responsibility were protective factors for IGD whereas emotional volatility and depression were the main risk factors for SMA.
conclusionsThe results highlighted the advantages of using facets as predictors and have implications for both research and clinical practice. Limitations include the unreliability of two facets and the cross-sectional design of the study. Future research directions include using better instruments to assess the Big Five traits and facets and conducting longitudinal studies to assess the direction of causality.
