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

Cyber-ostracism has become an important challenge in digitally mediated university life, yet its influence on academic engagement remains insufficiently understood. This study examined the longitudinal relationship between cyber-ostracism and academic engagement among Chinese university students, as well as the mediating roles of self-esteem and social avoidance and the moderating roles of social support and psychological resilience. A three-wave survey was conducted with 450 undergraduates from a provincial public university in China. Structural equation modeling showed that cyber-ostracism at Time 1 significantly predicted lower academic engagement at Time 3 (
