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: This study aimed to examine the relationship between interparental conflict and online flaming among Chinese adolescents, to test the mediating effects of psychological stress and online disinhibition (including toxic disinhibition and benign disinhibition) in this relationship, and to further explore gender differences in these mechanisms. Methods: Using convenience sampling, a cross-sectional survey was conducted with 1,096 adolescents, all of whom completed self-report measures of interparental conflict characteristics, online flaming, psychological stress, and online disinhibition. Based on the survey data, a chain mediation model was constructed and fitted through structural equation modeling, and gender differences in the overall model as well as in path coefficients were examined via multi-group analysis and pairwise comparisons. Results: Interparental conflict positively predicted adolescents' online flaming. Psychological stress, toxic online disinhibition, and benign online disinhibition each mediated this relationship. Furthermore, psychological stress and the two types of online disinhibition jointly formed two chain mediating pathways: "interparental conflict → psychological stress → toxic online disinhibition → online flaming" and "interparental conflict → psychological stress → benign online disinhibition → online flaming." Although the overall hypothesized model showed no significant gender differences, both the direct effect of interparental conflict on psychological stress and the indirect effect of toxic online disinhibition in the interparental conflict-online flaming link were stronger for males than for females. Conclusion: This study reveals the underlying mechanisms through which interparental conflict contributes to adolescents' online flaming, indicating that intervening in interparental conflict, alleviating psychological stress, and reducing online disinhibition are effective ways to decrease such behavior.
