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.

Abstract
In digital era, the self-concept clarity of college students is increasingly alarming in Chinese educational system. In view of this, the current study investigated the structural associations between smart-phone addiction, social anxiety, social withdrawal, and self-concept clarity among Chinese college students. A chain mediation model was employed in statistical analysis, and the participants were 891 college students selected from 2 universities in Shandong, China. The findings demonstrated that smart-phone addiction can not only directly and negatively influence self-concept clarity, but also indirectly and negatively affect self-concept clarity through the single mediation of social withdrawal as well as the chain mediation of social anxiety and social withdrawal. Besides, although the direct associations between smart-phone addiction and social anxiety and between social anxiety and self-concept clarity were significant, the indirect effect of smart-phone addiction on self-concept clarity via social anxiety was insignificant. Smart-phone addiction may lead to social anxiety and social withdrawal, whereby impairing the self-concept clarity of Chinese college students.
