Associations between family cohesion, stress and digital self-regulation in young adults.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: The widespread of digital technologies has transformed family communication, stress coping, and emotional bonds during young adulthood. This study examines relationships between family cohesion, psychological stress, and digital self-regulation, focusing on how family bonds shape digital behavior beyond individual control. Methods: Using a cross-sectional design, data were collected from 406 university students in Turkey via an online survey and analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). Results: Findings indicate that family cohesion is associated with perceived stress and depression, as well as lower life satisfaction. Stress emerged as a significant mechanism of mediating between family cohesion and digital self-regulation, suggesting that stress influences digital engagement. Family cohesion showed stronger relationships with emotional outcomes than direct regulation of digital behaviors. Discussion: By modeling these variables using SEM, this study demonstrates how family relationships shape digital well-being. Institutional ethical approval was obtained, and informed consent was provided by all participants.
