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

backgroundAdolescents with low self-efficacy may exhibit borderline personality features. This study aimed to investigate the role of school adjustment and social support in the association between self-efficacy and borderline personality features among adolescents.

methodsQuestionnaires were distributed to 2369 adolescents to collect data including general demographic characteristics, borderline personality features, social support, school adjustment, and self-efficacy.

results(1) Adolescents' school adjustment and self-efficacy were negatively associated with borderline personality features. (2) The relationship between borderline personality features and self-efficacy was partially mediated by school adjustment. (3) The relationships among borderline personality features, school adjustment, and self-efficacy were moderated by social support. High levels of social support were associated with a stronger negative correlation between borderline personality features and self-efficacy.

conclusionsSchool adjustment is a crucial link between borderline personality features and self-efficacy. Although social support can mitigate this relationship to some extent, adolescents with borderline personality features may still face challenges in developing a strong sense of self-efficacy, even in supportive environments.
