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
The Big Five Model has been widely applied across various areas for detecting problematic or even antisocial behaviors. This research explores its potential to identify behavior patterns and usage profiles in digital environments, such as social media use, digital gaming, and related activities. This study first conducted a literature review on mobile phone use, video game addiction, and social media overuse through the lens of the Big Five Model. Then, empirical data from 492 participants were analyzed to assess how each personality trait is associated with exposure to excessive internet use. The results shown that individuals with high openness and extraversion are more likely to engage intensively with social media and online entertainment, whereas those with higher levels of neuroticism, agreeableness, or conscientiousness display lower exposure. These findings align with previous research linking personality traits to neuroanatomical patterns that shape behavioral tendencies. This study suggests that specific personality traits, as defined by the Big Five Model, influence the use of digital media and advertising channels, potentially fostering addictive behaviors in users with higher openness and extraversion.
