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
The present study explores the parallel mediating roles of problematic online gaming and maladaptive daydreaming on the relationship between life satisfaction and mindfulness in esports-involved gamers in Türkiye. This research area has attracted growing scholarly interest due to its potential implications for esports-involved gamers' mindfulness and life satisfaction. The present study employed a parallel multiple mediation model to investigate the indirect roles of these two mediators in the association between life satisfaction and mindfulness in a sample of esports-involved gamers. A total of 480 esports-involved gamers completed an online survey comprising the Satisfaction with Life Scale, the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale, the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short Form, and the Maladaptive Daydreaming Scale. The data were analyzed using correlation analyses and Hayes' PROCESS macro (Model 4) with bootstrapping to test the hypothesized mediation model. The findings of the study demonstrated correlations between all these variables. Mediation analyses indicated that both problematic online gaming and maladaptive daydreaming mediated the relationship between life satisfaction and mindfulness, as the direct roles became non-significant once the mediators were included. Interventions designed to enhance mindfulness in esports-involved gamers should therefore address this to decrease maladaptive daydreaming.
