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
Background: Suicide is positively associated with a range of psychological risk factors such as family function and depression. However, it remains unclear if depression mediates the association between family function and suicide in Chinese adolescents. Methods: We enrolled 14263 students from Shenzhen Polytechnic College, China. Family function, depression and suicide were assessed in these students by self-report measures, respectively. With path analysis and logistic regression, the mediating role of depression in the association between family function and suicide was analyzed. Results: In this study, the detection rate of suicide-related behaviors among vocational school students was 12.19%, among which the detection rates of suicide idea, suicide plan and suicide attempt were 11.59%, 4.26% and 2.70%, respectively. Depression played a significant mediating role in the influence of family function on suicide-related behaviors. Conclusions: Poor family function might increase the risk of suicide-related behaviors in vocational school students, and this effect was partly realized by affecting their mental health. Improving family function could not only improve adolescent's psychological status, but also reduce their suicide-related behaviors.
