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

Introduction: Although previous studies have identified associations between insecure attachment styles and nomophobia (NMP), the underlying psychological mechanisms remain underexplored. Grounded in attachment theory, this study investigates the mediating roles of school belongingness and life satisfaction in the relationship between attachment styles and NMP in adolescents. Methods: The study was conducted with 230 adolescents aged 12 to 18, recruited from a child and adolescent psychiatry outpatient clinic. Participants completed the Attachment Styles Scale in Interpersonal Relationships (ASSIS), Nomophobia Questionnaire (NMP-Q), School Belongingness Scale (SBS), and Life Satisfaction Scale (LSS). Results: Mediation analysis revealed that anxious attachment was associated with increased NMP through decreased school belongingness (β = 0.036, p = 0.043) and reduced life satisfaction (β = 0.059, p = 0.014). Similarly, secure attachment was associated with lower NMP via higher school belongingness (β = -0.054, p = 0.037) and life satisfaction (β = -0.056, p = 0.013). Avoidant attachment was not significantly associated with NMP or the proposed mediators. Conclusion: The findings suggest that adolescents' attachment styles influence NMP through their senses of school belongingness and life satisfaction. Designing school-based psychosocial initiatives that cultivate relational anchoring and perceived life coherence may provide a developmentally attuned avenue to buffer NMP risk, particularly in adolescents exhibiting anxious attachment style.
