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

The transition to adolescence is a critical period for the onset of depressive symptoms, making it crucial to examine the risk factors and consequences related to their development and maintenance. Although previous studies have suggested a negative relationship between self-efficacy and depressive symptoms, it is unclear how these two variables evolve together over time during the transition to adolescence and how these relationships vary dynamically within-person and between-person. This study used a latent curve model with structured residuals to examine whether a bidirectional relationship involving academic, social, and emotional self-efficacy and depressive symptoms exists during the transition to adolescence. A sample of 3748 Chinese early adolescents (48.2% girls; initial M
