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

Introduction: This study aims to empirically evaluate and refine a theoretical model that conceptualizes digital fidelity based on Individual Ethics and Relational Boundaries (The Dual Architecture). Methods: The model's structural, discriminant, and cross-gender invariance validity were examined using both Classical Test Theory (CFA, WLS-MV) and Modern Test Theory (Rasch). Results: CFA empirically revised the two-factor Dual Architecture structure, and multi-group CFA confirmed strict invariance across genders. Nomological network analysis (relationship satisfaction, attachment styles) provided evidence for the discriminant validity of F1 and F2. Conversely, the Rasch analysis revealed a critical methodological challenge: The F1 (Digital Fidelity Ethics) sub-dimension showed unacceptably low person-separation reliability (PSI = 0.432) and a severe targeting issue (ceiling effect). Discussion: The findings indicate that the Dual Architecture model shows promising theoretical alignment and comparability; however, the Ethics dimension's measurement using current self-report items presents significant methodological difficulties, likely due to social desirability bias.
