Article in Psychology research and behavior management, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Purpose: Network analysis is a statistical method that explores the complex interrelationships among variables by representing them as nodes and edges in a network structure. This study aimed to examine the interconnections between family functioning, anxiety, and depression among vocational school students through network analysis approach. Participants and Methods: A sample of 2728 higher vocational school students participated in a survey utilizing the Family APGAR Index Questionnaire (APGAR), Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7), and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). Meanwhile, a network analysis was conducted to investigate the interrelationships between family functioning, anxiety, and depression symptoms among the higher vocational school students. Results: The network analysis revealed that node APGAR2 ("Partnership") exhibited the highest strength, followed by node GAD5 ("Restlessness"); node GAD7 ("Negative future anticipation"), PHQ9 ("Suicidal ideation"), and PHQ6 ("Guilty") were bridge nodes linking family functioning, anxiety and depressive symptoms in the sample. The results of the Network comparisons test between male and female indicated that the edge weights and global strength did not exhibit a statistically significant difference. Conclusion: These results emphasized that certain anxiety symptoms and family functioning nodes are more central than others, and thus play a more critical role in the family functioning-anxiety-depression network, which highlight potential targeting symptoms to be considered in future interventions.
