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
Objective: To examine the association between perceived parental phubbing and Internet gaming disorder symptoms among adolescents, as well as the mediating roles of fear of missing out and self-control in this association. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted among 5,476 adolescents using the Perceived Parental Phubbing Scale, the Fear of Missing Out Scale, the Self-Control Scale, and the Internet Gaming Disorder Symptoms Scale. Results: Perceived parental phubbing was significantly and positively correlated with adolescents' Internet gaming disorder symptoms. The mediating effect of fear of missing out between perceived parental phubbing and Internet gaming disorder symptoms was significant, and the mediating effect of self-control between perceived parental phubbing and Internet gaming disorder symptoms was also significant. The serial mediation pathway of perceived parental phubbing → fear of missing out → self-control → Internet gaming disorder symptoms was significant, although the effect size was relatively small. Conclusion: Adolescents' Internet gaming disorder symptoms are closely associated with their perceived parental phubbing, fear of missing out, and level of self-control. In the digital-intelligence era, prevention of adolescent Internet gaming disorder symptoms may begin with improving the family digital-interaction environment, alleviating fear of missing out, and cultivating self-control.
