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

objectiveThis study aims to investigate the longitudinal interplay between early adolescent bullying victimization and suicidal ideation, and to analyze the mediating role of self-efficacy in their dynamic relationship.

methodsA cluster sampling method was employed to select 1,023 seventh-grade students from a middle school in an urban district of Hunan Province between March and December 2023. Three waves of data collection were conducted using questionnaires that included scales for adolescent bullying victimization, suicidal ideation (PANSI), and general self-efficacy (GSES). The cross-lagged panel model (CLPM) was utilized to explore the reciprocal relationships between early bullying victimization, suicidal ideation, and self-efficacy.

resultsEarly adolescent bullying victimization was found to both directly and indirectly predict suicidal ideation through its impact on self-efficacy. Conversely, suicidal ideation did not directly predict the level of bullying victimization but was able to indirectly predict it through its effect on self-efficacy.

conclusionThe bullying victimization in early adolescents can directly predict the level of suicidal ideation and can also indirectly influence suicidal ideation by affecting self-efficacy; Suicidal ideation does not directly predict the level of bullying victimization; rather, it can indirectly predict bullying victimization through its impact on self-efficacy.
