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
Objective: The phenomenon of childhood loneliness extends beyond its implications for psychological development, potentially exerting significant effects on mental health and social adaptation. This study investigates the impact of intimate partner violence (IPV), perceived stress, and media exposure on childhood loneliness, offering empirical evidence to enhance understanding and inform strategies to address this issue. Methods: This study adopted a cross-sectional survey design and employed stratified and quota sampling techniques to select children's hospitals across 18 provinces and municipalities in mainland China. Participants were assessed for intimate partner violence using the IPV scale, perceived stress using the Perceived Stress Scale-4 (PSS-4), media exposure using the Media Exposure Scale, and loneliness using the Three-Item Loneliness Scale (T-ILS). Sociodemographic characteristics of the participants were also collected. The analysis employed Antonovsky's sense of coherence (SOC) model, along with univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses, to investigate the factors influencing loneliness. Results: A total of 4,404 questionnaires were collected, with male participants comprising 53.07% and female participants comprising 46.93% of the sample. The mean age of the participants was 13.60 years, with a standard deviation (SD) of 2.85 years. The mean scores for loneliness, intimate partner violence, perceived stress, and media exposure were 4.70 (SD = 1.70), 7.42 (SD = 3.03), 6.55 (SD = 2.82), and 21.28 (SD = 5.89), respectively. Loneliness was positively correlated with intimate partner violence ( Conclusion: Intimate partner violence, perceived stress, and media exposure have significant effects on loneliness among Chinese children. Interventions aimed at improving family environments, enhancing resilience to stress, and guiding appropriate media use may effectively reduce loneliness and promote healthy child development.
