The mediating role of life satisfaction in the relationship between psychological resilience and internet addiction.

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
Psychological resilience (PR) and life satisfaction (LS) are considered protective factors for problematic behaviors, yet their structural relationships with internet addiction (IA) and the potential indirect effect of LS require further clarification. This study tested whether LS shows an indirect effect the relationship between PR and IA among university students. The study was conducted with 715 undergraduate students from Türkiye (mean age = 21.6; 55.7% female). Data were collected using the Brief Resilience Scale (ω = 0.88), the Satisfaction with Life Scale (ω = 0.89), and the Young Internet Addiction Test-Short Form (ω = 0.92). Correlation analyses and structural equation modeling (SEM) were performed, and mediation was tested via bootstrap analysis (5,000 resamples). PR was positively related to LS (r = .309, p < .01) and negatively related to IA, while LS was also negatively related to IA (r = -.293 and r = -.176, respectively, p < .01). The SEM demonstrated good model fit (χ²= 642.35, df = 226, p < .001; CFI = 0.941, TLI = 0.935, RMSEA = 0.061, SRMR = 0.042). Standardized path coefficients were PR → LS (β = 0.52, p < .01), PR → IA (β = -0.47, p < .01), and LS → IA (β = -0.28, p < .05). Bootstrap results confirmed that a significant indirect effect was observed the PR-IA association (indirect effect β = -0.15, 95% CI [-0.24, -0.08]). Higher psychological resilience was associated with lower internet addiction both directly and indirectly through greater life satisfaction, indicating that PR and LS function as protective factors against IA in young people. University-based interventions that enhance resilience and life satisfaction may inform prevention efforts targeting problematic internet use.
