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
Background: This study aimed to explore the mechanisms underlying the relationship between perceived social support and internet addiction among Chinese civil aviation flight students among Chinese civil aviation flight students, with a focus on examining the chain mediating role of positive coping strategies and basic psychological need satisfaction in this relationship. Methods: Employing a cross-sectional design and cluster sampling method, 1,235 male flight students from the Civil Aviation Flight University of China (mean age 18.80 ± 0.78 years) were surveyed using questionnaires. Data were collected using the Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS), Chinese Internet Addiction Scale-Revised (CIAS-R), Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ), and Basic Need Satisfaction in General Scale (BNSG-S). Chain mediation analysis was conducted using SPSS 26.0 and PROCESS macro Model 6. Results: Perceived social support was significantly and negatively associated with internet addiction among flight students ( Conclusion: Perceived social support is associated with internet addiction among flight students through both independent and chain mediation pathways of positive coping strategies and basic psychological need satisfaction. These findings provide theoretical foundations and practical guidance for developing internet addiction prevention and intervention systems for flight students.
