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

Mobile short-video addiction has been linked to students’ academic disengagement, yet the mediating and moderating mechanisms underlying this association remain insufficiently understood. This study examined whether self-control mediates the relationship between mobile short-video addiction and academic disengagement and whether psychological resilience moderates both the direct and indirect pathways (i.e., a moderated mediation model). Using a convenience sample of 2,687 vocational college students enrolled in preschool teacher-education programs in Guangxi, China (Mage = 19.280, SD = 1.206), we assessed mobile short-video addiction, academic disengagement, self-control, and psychological resilience and tested the conditional process model. Results showed that mobile short-video addiction was positively associated with academic disengagement, and this association was partially mediated by reduced self-control. Psychological resilience further exhibited dual-path moderation: it strengthened the negative association between addiction symptoms and self-control and amplified the protective association between self-control and academic disengagement. Correspondingly, both pathway effects were weaker in the low-resilience group than in the high-resilience group. By demonstrating a context-sensitive pattern of resilience-related resources in a vocational preschool teacher-education cohort, this study extends existing evidence in vocational education settings and offers theoretical and practical implications for interventions aimed at reducing short-video addiction and enhancing self-regulation and academic engagement.
