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: Cybervictimization has become a prevalent global public concern as it threatens the wellbeing of young people. Understanding the distinct patterns of cybervictimization, along with their associated factors is crucial for developing effective interventions. Methods: A total of 1,009 college students were selected from three comprehensive universities in Shandong Province, China, via convenience sampling. Participants completed online assessments of cybervictimization and related variables. Latent profile analysis was employed to classify the cybervictimization subgroups, and network analysis was used to explore the interaction of risk factors among different subgroups, identifying core risk factors. Results: The major results are summarized as follows: (1) The cybervictimization among college students were classified into three distinct subgroups: low cybervictimization group (48.3%), moderate cybervictimization group (38.2%), and high cybervictimization group (13.5%). (2) Network analysis revealed that School belonging was the primary core factor (strength/expected influence = 2.125/1.920). The low and moderate cybervictimization groups showed higher strength and expected influence in online comfort (low: 0.481/1.041, moderate: 0.389/0.931), while the high cybervictimization group had higher values in online contact risk and deficient impulse control (strength = 0.730/1.060). Furthermore, the Network Comparison Test (NCT) confirmed significant differences in symptom network structure between the low and high cybervictimization networks ( Conclusion: This study identified three latent profiles of cybervictimization among college students and revealed both shared and profile-specific central factors, with school belonging central across all profiles and online contact risk and deficient impulse control particularly salient in the high-victimization group. These findings advance understanding of the psychosocial mechanisms underlying cybervictimization and offer preliminary, subgroup-informed insights for its prevention among college students.
