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.

IBM SPSS 26.0 software was used for data analysis. Results: The study included 225 healthcare professionals (65.8% female, 34.2% male), with an average age of 33.11 ± 9.07. The average daily social media usage time was 2.96 ± 1.49 h. Healthcare professionals had moderate levels of happiness (24.29 ± 4.07) and social media addiction (14.30 ± 4.81).
