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

Objectives: We aimed to investigate the moderating effect of social support and its subscales on the relationship between social media addiction (SMA) and anxiety symptoms in young Taiwanese adults. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on young adults in universities across regions in Taiwan. 1324 Taiwanese young adults aged 20-40 participated in this survey. Sociodemographics, health-related behaviors, social media use, perceived social support (including family, friends, and significant others), and anxiety symptoms were assessed. Linear regression models were used to examine the associations and interactions. Results: Of the sample, 21.4% exhibited SMA symptoms. The mean anxiety symptoms and social support scores were 6.7 ± 5.4 and 61.8 ± 14.2, respectively. SMA was associated with higher anxiety scores (adjusted coefficient [aB] = 2.02, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.35, 2.70;
