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
Introduction: This study aimed to adapt the Short Digital Stress Scale (SDSS) into Turkish and to evaluate its psychometric properties in an adult population. Digital stress has become increasingly relevant with the widespread and continuous use of digital technologies, highlighting the need for valid and reliable instruments across cultural contexts. Methods: A total of 276 adults (72.8% female, 27.2% male; M_age = 27.34, SD = 9.84) completed the SDSS together with established psychological measures, including the Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale, the Short-Form UCLA Loneliness Scale, the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale, and the Beck Depression Inventory-II. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to test the original five-factor structure of the SDSS. Convergent and concurrent validity were examined through composite reliability (CR), average variance extracted (AVE), and correlation analyses. Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach's alpha. Results: Confirmatory factor analysis supported the original five-factor structure-availability stress, approval anxiety, fear of missing out, connection overload, and online vigilance-with good model fit (χ Discussion: The findings demonstrate that the Turkish version of the SDSS is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing digital stress among adults. The scale offers a concise and contextually appropriate tool for researchers and practitioners examining the psychological impact of digital engagement in Turkish society.
