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

Bullying among South African adolescents is a critical public health issue. This study explores the relationship between childhood adversity, peer influence, and personality traits in predicting bullying perpetration. Data from 769 high school learners were analysed using Structural Equation Modelling. Findings indicate that childhood adversity predicts bullying perpetration, mediated by peer influence and moderated by personality traits like conscientiousness, extraversion, and emotional stability. These results support Social Learning Theory, emphasising observed behaviours and peer dynamics in bullying. Practical implications include targeted interventions addressing childhood adversity and fostering positive peer interactions and personality development.
