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.

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 more rapid adoption of the Internet in education settings has raised concerns about its impact on young adults who may suffer from cyberbullying victimization. As a negative life experience, cyberbullying victimization can adversely affect young adults’ mental health. With the pervasive integration of digital technology into daily life, cyber victimization has emerged as a significant concern, particularly among adults. The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between cyberbullying and emotional vulnerabilities, focusing on the mediating role of coping styles among young adults. Correlational research design was used for this quantitative research. Survey was conducted as a method of data collection by using questionnaire to measure study variables. Through convenient sampling 437 young adults were recruited as a sample of the study. Findings reveal a positive correlation between cyberbullying, depression and anxiety. Moreover, results indicate a negative relationship between cyberbullying and self-esteem. Furthermore, role of gender, as an important factor in facing cyberbullying behavior. The results show males have greater level of facing cyberbullying than females. The avoidance coping strategies, rather than emotion focused coping strategies, mediate the relationship between cyberbullying, depression anxiety and self-esteem. These findings provide valuable insights into how and when cyberbullying affects adults depression, anxiety and self-esteem offering potential guidance for prevention and intervention strategies aimed at reducing the impact of cyberbullying on depressive symptoms in this vulnerable population.
