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
Objective: Appearance-related social media consciousness (ASMC) has emerged as an important construct for understanding appearance-related vulnerability in social media contexts, yet its developmental antecedents remain underexplored. This study examined the associations between retrospectively reported childhood maltreatment and ASMC and tested whether these associations varied by gender and social media use time. Methods: Participants were 405 Chinese university students recruited from two universities. They completed measures of ASMC, childhood maltreatment, social media use time, and demographic characteristics. Path analysis, multi-group analysis, and moderation analysis were conducted, with body mass index (BMI) controlled. Results: Emotional abuse ( Conclusion: These findings suggest that retrospectively reported childhood maltreatment is associated with ASMC, with different maltreatment subtypes showing distinct patterns of association. The sexual abuse-ASMC association differed significantly by gender, whereas no significant moderating effect of social media use time was found.
