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
Introduction: As the popularity of short-video apps rises among university students, issues have been identified linking problematic engagement to sleep, self-control, cognitive abilities, and emotion. However, the effects of bedtime procrastination and executive dysfunction on this relationship remain unknown. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 538 Chinese university students using an anonymous online survey. Pearson correlation analyses, observed variable path analysis, and indirect effect analyses were performed using the structural equation modeling framework. Results: Short-video addiction, bedtime procrastination, executive dysfunction, and emotional disturbance were found to be positively correlated. Within the structural model, executive dysfunction was found to correlate positively and significantly with emotional disturbance ( Discussion: It seems that executive dysfunctions play a significant role in emotional distress in problematic short-video users compared to bedtime procrastination. As this research was cross-sectional and self-report-based, causation cannot be established. Interventions should concentrate on the enhancement of executive functions and self-regulation abilities rather than screen time reduction only.
