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

With the rapid growth in the number of short-form video users, short-form video addiction (SVA) has drawn increasing attention due to its significant impact on individuals' daily lives. This study examines the relationship between short-form video addiction and sleep quality, as well as the mediating mechanisms of social anxiety and self-control. Using the College Student Short-Form Video Addiction Scale, the Interaction Anxiousness Scale, the Brief Self-Control Scale, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, we surveyed 677 Chinese college students. Correlation and mediation analyses were conducted using SPSS and the PROCESS macro. The findings revealed that SVA was negatively associated with sleep quality both directly and indirectly, with higher social anxiety and lower self-control mediating the indirect effect. By showing that addictive behavior is linked to its risk factors through affective, cognitive, and executive pathways, this study provides preliminarily elucidates how addictive behavior feeds back to reinforce its own risk factors proposed in the Interaction of Person-Affect-Cognition-Execution (I-PACE) model.
