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

This study analyzes the influence of social determinants (SD) and positive youth development (PYD) on the mental health (MH) of Chilean adolescents. A non-experimental, cross-sectional, correlational-explanatory design was used to analyze data from 612 adolescents (43.46% male and 56.54% female), aged between 11 and 19 years (M = 14.92, SD = 1.50). The assessed SD variables included parental educational level, family affluence, gender, migratory status, and ethnicity. PYD was measured using the 5Cs model (Competence, Confidence, Connection, Character, and Caring). MH was conceptualized through the dual-factor model, which encompasses subjective well-being (SWB) and psychopathological symptoms (PTH). The analyses included confirmatory factor analysis to assess the measurement models and structural equation modeling to examine both the direct and indirect effects of the hypothesized relationships. The findings indicate that family affluence and gender are the factors most consistently associated with the dimensions of PYD and MH. Confidence and connection positively influence MH by enhancing SWB and reducing PTH. Furthermore, these two dimensions act as significant mediators between SD and MH. The study highlights the importance of considering both the socioeconomic context and individual capabilities in mental health promotion strategies, proposing an integrated approach that addresses both the positive and negative aspects of adolescent mental health.
