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

Introduction: Based on self-determination theory, this study explores how the content characteristics of social media advertisements affect the advertising effectiveness of female users through meeting their basic psychological needs, and examines the moderating effect of platform environment. Methods: A total of 922 valid samples were obtained from female social media users aged 18-35 through an online questionnaire. The theoretical model was tested using confirmatory factor analysis and mediation, moderation, and moderation mediation effects analysis. Results: The authenticity, interactivity, and emotional resonance of advertisements are significantly indirectly correlated with brand loyalty, purchase intention, and information dissemination intention through the satisfaction of autonomy, competence, and belonging needs, respectively. Platform interactivity and community belonging can significantly enhance the relationship between advertising content characteristics and psychological needs satisfaction, but the moderating effect is relatively limited. Discussion: Research shows that meeting basic psychological needs is an important psychological mechanism that connects the characteristics of advertising content with advertising effectiveness, and the perceived platform environment constitutes its situational boundary. The study expands the application of self-determination theory in the field of social media advertising and provides reference for optimizing advertising content and platform environment.
