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

New media are playing an increasing role in promoting family sustainability. They are no longer merely entertainment platforms, but rather awareness-raising and educational tools that contribute to building social resilience within society. Through digital awareness programs, families can acquire skills to adapt to economic, cultural, and technological challenges and prevent potential crises. This study examines the influence of new media on promoting family sustainability and enhancing social resilience via awareness initiatives, specifically targeting Jordanian families. In-depth semi-structured interviews were done with 12 participants selected purposively and through snow ball sampling technique from various family configurations in Jordan using qualitative approaches. The interviews examined how new media platforms, including social media networks, facilitated family connectedness, disseminated vital information, and bolstered emotional well-being during difficult periods. Thematic analysis identified essential mechanisms via which new media promoted resilience-building, such as the distribution of health information, participation in community support programs, and the establishment of virtual social networks. The findings also underscored the difficulties related to misinformation and digital disparity. Research indicates that strategically utilized digital media can empower families, enhance collective resilience, and offer significant emotional and social support, particularly in times of crisis. This study enhances the existing research on digital tools for family sustainability, offering perspectives on the efficacy of new media as a resilience-building mechanism in Jordanian communities.
