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

This study used multilevel Latent Class Analysis (mLCA), a day-level, person-centered approach to examine adolescents' social media engagement, and associated it with exposure to alcohol-related content. Participants were 302 adolescents (Mage = 16.21) who completed 21 days of ecological momentary assessment and weekly surveys. Using multilevel latent class analysis, we identified six distinct engagement types: No Use, Passive Use, Liked/Reacted, Moderate Engagement, Discussion, and High Engagement. Sixty-one percent of adolescents spent most days in one dominant class. Exposure to alcohol-related content from peers or followed accounts predicted more active engagement days, consistent with social learning processes. Exposure from peers is related to temporary social media disengagement, whereas exposure from followed accounts predicted reactive use. Reliance on self-report and the absence of private-messaging measures are noted limitations. Findings highlight dynamic daily processes linking online engagement with substance-use risk contexts.
