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: Following the uses and gratifications theoretical framework, the objectives of the present study were to employ a person-centered approach to identify patterns of digital media use based on motivations, activities, and content, and to examine the role of personality traits in differentiating these profiles. Methods: The samples of high school and university students from Belgrade, Serbia, participated in Study 1, a qualitative focus group study aimed to investigate aspects of digital media use through qualitative content analysis; and Study 2, a quantitative study of constructing digital media use scales, establishing patterns of digital media use through latent profile analysis, and investigating their associations with personality traits. Results: The created scales of digital media use demonstrated adequate construct validity, reliability, and measurement invariance across gender. Seven distinct profiles of digital media use were identified. The profiles Discussion: The findings offer implications for designing interventions that promote beneficial media use among young people.
