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
Background and Aims: Nomophobia, the fear or anxiety of being without access to a mobile phone, has become increasingly common among university students due to the widespread integration of smartphones into daily life. Although previous studies have suggested a link between loneliness and nomophobia, evidence from Iranian Allied Medical Sciences Students remains limited. This study aimed to investigate the association between loneliness and the severity of nomophobia among students of the School of Allied Medical Sciences at Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences in Sari, Iran. Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study was conducted among undergraduate students ( Results: A total of 248 students participated in the study. Overall, participants reported moderate levels of nomophobia and low-to-moderate levels of loneliness. Pearson correlation analysis revealed a weak but statistically significant positive correlation between loneliness and nomophobia ( Conclusion: Loneliness was identified as a significant, albeit weak, predictor of nomophobia among students of Allied Medical Sciences. Although loneliness contributed to nomophobia, the findings indicate that smartphone-related anxiety in this population is influenced by a broader combination of psychosocial, behavioral, and academic factors. Interventions aimed at reducing nomophobia should therefore adopt a multifaceted approach that promotes both students' psychological well-being and healthy smartphone use behaviors.
