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

Research has documented the various effects of internet use on adolescent well-being. However, few studies have integrated the Displacement Hypothesis and the Stimulation Hypothesis to compare the effects of online and offline communication on the quality of interpersonal relationships among adolescents. Moreover, limited research has examined the role of age cohort in these relationships. The present study addresses these gaps by investigating the age-related differences in these associations. Specifically, we examined the influence of both online and offline communication on the quality of adolescents' interpersonal relationships and explored the moderating role of age cohort. Data were drawn from the China Family Panel Studies, a nationally representative survey. A cross-sectional sample of 1486 adolescents aged 10 to 15 years (54.4% boys and 45.6% girls) was analyzed using correlation, hierarchical regression, and bootstrap-based mediation analyses. The results indicated that adolescents who engaged in more online communication also tended to engage in more offline communication. Furthermore, both online and offline communication are jointly related to the quality of interpersonal relationships among adolescents. Importantly, age cohort was found to moderate the effects of both online and offline communication on the quality of interpersonal relationships. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
