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

aimCyberbullying has been linked to various adverse psychological outcomes, but prospective associations with manic symptoms in early adolescents remain unexplored. We examined the prospective relationship between cyberbullying victimisation and manic symptoms in a diverse cohort of American children and adolescents.

methodWe analysed data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development study from the period 2 follow-up (2018-2020) to the period 3 follow-up (2019-2021). Linear regression models estimated the associations between cyberbullying victimisation (lifetime and past 12 months) and manic symptoms. We adjusted for age, sex, race and ethnicity, household income, parental education, manic symptoms, anxiety, depression, total screen time, and study site.

resultsThe average age of our 9095 adolescents (51.3% male) was 12.0 ± 0.7 years. The prevalence of cyberbullying victimisation was 9.2% for lifetime and 6.1% for the past 12 months. Adjusting for the covariates, lifetime cyberbullying victimisation was associated with a 0.41 higher manic symptom sum score (95% CI 0.18-0.65, p = 0.001), and past 12-month cyberbullying victimisation was associated with a 0.38 higher manic symptom sum score (95% CI 0.11-0.66, p = 0.007).

conclusionThese findings highlight the need for early identification and intervention for adolescents experiencing cyberbullying to mitigate its adverse effects on mental health.
