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

backgroundFamily harmony, emotion-management skills, problematic social media use and individual social responsibility are relevant to young adults' psychosocial functioning, but evidence on their interrelations remains limited, particularly in Turkish samples.

aimsThis study examined whether emotion-management skills and problematic or dysregulated social media use statistically mediated the association between family harmony and individual social responsibility among Turkish young adults.

methodA cross-sectional online survey was completed by 854 participants (64.1% female) using the Individual Social Responsibility Scale, Family Harmony Scale, Emotion-Management Skills Scale and the Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale, interpreted here as an indicator of problematic or dysregulated social media use symptoms.

resultsFamily harmony showed a significant total association with individual social responsibility (

conclusionsFamily harmony was associated with individual social responsibility directly and through emotion-related and digital-behavioural correlates. Because the data are cross-sectional, findings should be interpreted as associative rather than causal.
