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

backgroundDepression is a significant issue affecting adolescents' mental health. While depression research is relatively extensive, studies focusing on left-behind adolescents from single-parent families remain limited. Due to their unique family structure, this group is more susceptible to multiple stressors, increasing their risk of depression.

objectiveThis study aims to construct a predictive model based on a nomogram to identify the multidimensional characteristics of depression risk among left-behind adolescents from single-parent families, providing theoretical and practical evidence for early screening and targeted mental health interventions.

methodsCross-sectional data from the China Psychological Health Guardian Project (CPHG) were utilized to select samples of left-behind adolescents aged 12-20 years from single-parent families (N = 3731). Key variables were identified using Lasso regression, followed by the optimization of the model through binary logistic regression. A nomogram prediction model was then constructed based on significant variables.

resultsThe study identified gender, age, duration of parental separation, family satisfaction, parental education levels, substance dependence, weekday sleep duration, weekend mobile phone use duration, and chronic diseases as key predictors of depression risk. The nomogram model demonstrated good discriminatory and predictive accuracy, with AUC values of 0.771 and 0.759 in the training and validation sets, respectively.

conclusionBy integrating multidimensional variables, this study developed a predictive model for depression risk among left-behind adolescents from single-parent families, providing scientific evidence for the early identification and intervention of high-risk individuals.
