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: While previous studies have investigated the adverse effects of hyper-competitiveness on individual development, research addressing its underlying causes from a family systems perspective remains relatively scarce. This study provides a comprehensive, longitudinal analysis of how the father hunger impacts adolescent hyper-competitiveness, thoroughly investigating the roles of basic psychological needs satisfaction and mother-child attachment within the broad context of family dynamics. Methods: We employ Father Presence Theory, Attachment Theory and Basic Psychological Needs Theory as our theoretical frameworks. Data were gathered from 417 high school students in Central China at two time points (December 15, 2023, and May 15, 2024). Descriptive statistics and tests of the moderated mediation model were performed using SPSS 23.0. Results: Our results reveal that increased levels of father hunger are associated with greater adolescent hyper-competitiveness. Basic psychological needs satisfaction (BPNS) functions as a significant mediator, with higher levels of satisfaction correlating with lower hyper-competitiveness. Additionally, mother-child attachment serves as a significant moderator in both the first and second halves of the model, indicating its protective role in mitigating the adverse effects of elevated father hunger on BPNS. Furthermore, mother-child attachment can buffer the negative impact of unmet psychological needs on adolescent hyper-competitiveness. Conclusion: The present study reveals that father hunger leads to adolescent hyper-competitiveness through the basic psychological needs satisfaction whilst mother-child attachment moderates the indirect effects of father hunger on hyper-competitiveness. The findings enhance our theoretical understanding of the interplay between father hunger and adolescent hyper-competitiveness and provides a foundational basis for future research aimed at improving father-child relationships and developing targeted interventions for managing adolescent hyper-competitiveness.
