The relationship between parental academic upward social comparison perception and short video addiction in junior high school students.

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
Background: This study used a cross-sectional design and analyzed the relationship between parental academic upward social comparison perception (PAUSCP) and short video addiction (SVA) among junior high school students in Jiangsu Province, China, and explored the mediation of negative core self-evaluation (NCSE) and fear of failure (FOF). Methods: Using a cross-sectional research design, the study administered the parental academic upward social comparison perception scale, core self-evaluation scale, fear of failure scale and the short video addiction scale to 988 junior high school students from two schools in Jiangsu Province in April 2025 using multi-stage stratified cluster sampling to analyze chain mediation. Results: A total of 47.3% (n = 467) of the participants screened positive for SVA symptoms. The total indirect effect of PAUSCP on SVA through NCSE and FOF was significant (IE = 0.194, 95% CrI [0.158, 0.234]). Specifically, all three mediation pathways were significant: via NCSE alone (IE = 0.142, 95% CrI [0.112, 0.176]), via FOF alone (IE = 0.035, 95% CrI [0.017, 0.056]), and via the sequential chain pathway (IE = 0.017, 95% CrI [0.008, 0.027]). Conclusion: These findings suggest that higher PAUSCP is concurrently associated with higher SVA symptoms and that NCSE and FOF statistically account for part of this association in the specified model. PAUSCP was associated with SVA among the surveyed junior high school students through the statistical pathways involving NCSE and FOF. These findings may provide guidance for family-based interventions targeting short video addiction among junior high school students.
