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

backgroundMobile phone dependence and mental health problems have become increasingly prominent among left-behind adolescents in China. In recent years, some studies have focused on the important role of parent-child relationship and psychological resilience. Therefore, this study aims to explore the multidimensional relationships among resilience, mental health, and mobile phone dependence among left-behind adolescents, and to assess the impact of parent-child conflict level on these relationships.

methodsThe Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI-18), the Chinese version of the Mobile Phone Addiction Index (MPAI), the Resilience Scale for Children and Adolescents (RSCA), and the Parent-Child Conflict Scale were used to investigate 2,100 left-behind adolescents in Sichuan Province, and R was run to make network analysis and network comparison.

results(1) A structurally stable network relationship exists between left-behind adolescents' resilience, mental health, and mobile phone dependence; (2) BSI3 (Anxiety) is the most important node of the network model, followed by MPAI1 (the inability to control cravings subscale); (3) MPAI1 (the inability to control cravings subscale) and RSCA4 (family support) are key to connect resilience, mental health, and smartphone addiction in the study sample; (4) There was a significant difference in the network structure between the high- and low-level groups of parent-child conflict, no significant difference in the global strength of the network, and a significant difference in the centrality of strength and the centrality of bridge strength.

conclusionsChinese left-behind adolescents' resilience and mental health, mobile phone dependence are both independent and interact with each other to some extent. Specifically, high centrality dimensions such as anxiety, the inability to control cravings, and family support can be prioritised for intervention in related treatments, or reducing parent-child conflict and enhancing resilience to mitigate mobile phone dependence among left-behind adolescents, thus improving their mental health.
