Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
BACKGROUND AND
aimBullying is one of the most significant problems that has emerged across the world. It has negative effects on physical, psychological, and social health, especially among adolescents. No previous studies have been conducted in the Jazan region of Saudi Arabia to investigate the association between bullying and health-related quality of life (HRQOL). The study aimed to estimate the prevalence of bullying and its association with HRQOL among adolescents in Jazan.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 461 adolescents in the Jazan region, Saudi Arabia. They were selected from nine schools by a convenient type of sampling, using snowball technique. HRQOL was tested using the Arabic version of KIDSCREEN-27. Data were collected using a web survey and analyzed by the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 24 (Armonk, NY: IBM Corp.).
resultsThe study revealed that 35.3% of all participants were labeled as victims. Victimization was more common among boys (17.78%) than girls (17.57%) (P = 0.001). Most of the victims were bullied verbally (75.6%), and most of them were bullied by friends (57.67%). Regarding sex differences, cyberbullying was more prevalent among girls (18.04%) than among boys (9.82%) (P = 0.01). Bullying was more common in elementary schools (39.5%) than in others. Associations were found between bullying and all aspects of HRQOL that were evaluated (P<0.0001).
conclusionsBullying prevalence is high among adolescents of the Jazan region and is associated with a poorer quality of life. This requires more attention from families and sectors of education, health, and social services.
