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
Introduction: As social media becomes embedded in urban life, digital urban memory narratives serve as an important channel through which internal migrants encounter local culture and life. This study examines the statistical associations among perceived social media urban memory narratives, narrative transportation, place attachment, urban identity, and life satisfaction in Dongguan, China. In this study, these narratives refer to story-based digital content connecting urban history and labor experiences with migrants' everyday lives, rather than general city branding or news exposure, or promotional city-image communication. Methods: An online survey yielded 890 valid responses from internal migrants. Data were analyzed using hierarchical regression, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), Bootstrap mediation (5,000 resamples), and multi-group comparison based on length of residence. Results: Core scales demonstrated acceptable internal consistency (α = 0.813-0.906; CR = 0.870-0.920). The seven-factor measurement model showed an acceptable fit, χ Discussion: These findings highlight that story-based digital narratives provide a vital symbolic and emotional context for understanding migrants' psychological and spatial integration. Future longitudinal research is needed to clarify the temporal ordering and causal pathways of these digital emotional processes.
