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
In contemporary society where technology has advanced significantly, the issues of war and peace are not only political or economic but also deeply tied to the structure of human psychology. Based on Erich Fromm's humanistic psychology, this paper reexamines the adaptability and framework of peace psychology in the technological era. First, the paper explores the psychological roots of war, emphasizing that deep psychological mechanisms such as aggressiveness, idolization, and emotional numbness are key drivers of war. Second, the paper distinguishes between the concepts of "negative peace" and "positive peace," proposing that positive peace should encompass positive psychological resources such as justice, love, and freedom, rather than merely the cessation of violent conflict. Furthermore, the paper analyzes the emotional coldness, numbness, and the aestheticization of war in the media brought about by technological alienation, revealing the erosion of the psychological foundation for peace by these technologies and proposing "humanized technology" as a solution. By emphasizing that technology should serve humanity's empathy, creativity, and freedom, rather than alienation and control, this paper provides new perspectives for the theoretical innovation and practical development of contemporary peace psychology. The core contribution of this paper lies in the interdisciplinary integration of Fromm's peace psychology with contemporary technological advancements, presenting strategies to address the impact of technology on individuals and society. Finally, the article provides important topics for future empirical research, including the psychological effects of emotional detachment and digital warfare, peace education in algorithmic environments, and the psychological and ethical studies of artificial intelligence and neural technologies.
