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
purposeTo explore adolescents' experiences with social media (SoMe) use from a salutogenic health-promoting perspective.
methodsThis qualitative study was based on five focus group interviews (27 adolescents) from two public senior high schools in Norway, (15-18 years). Interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis.
resultsSoMe-use was described as an important part of the adolescents` everyday life and a novel way to relate to the world. The identified main themes were: social support, self-esteem, and their interplay. They experienced social support via SoMe through communication, feeling unity, inclusion, and the establishment of a larger social network, thus preventing loneliness and promoting social belonging. Further, SoMe-use is important for their self-esteem by receiving and providing attention, acceptance, and confirmation. Social support promoted their self-esteem, which in turn enhanced their online self-expression, further reinforcing the social support.
conclusionsThese findings indicate that SoMe might be an important social arena for the development of adolescents' self-esteem and receiving social support. Further, it seems that there is an interplay between social support and self-esteem that might positively influence their identity, sense of coherence, and mental health. However, we need more in-depth knowledge about adolescents' experiences with SoMe-use from a salutogenic health-promoting perspective.
