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

This study aimed to examine the association between digital life balance and flourishing in a sample of adolescents with a particular focus on the mediating roles of self-esteem and life satisfaction in the relationship between the two variables. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with a sample of 338 Romanian adolescents (mean age = 16.17 years; 66% girls) who completed measures of digital life balance (Digital Life Balance Scale), self-esteem (Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale), life satisfaction (Satisfaction with Life Scale), and flourishing (Flourishing Scale). Data were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The results showed that digital life balance was positively associated with flourishing both directly (β = 0.125) and indirectly through life satisfaction and self-esteem (β = 0.309). The total association was also significant (β = 0.434) (all
