Exploring the longitudinal relationships between non-suicidal self-injury and depressive symptoms in adolescents: a cross-lagged panel network analysis.

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
backgroundNon-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) and depressive symptoms are two major public health issues among adolescents. Moreover, they can often co-occur, which can lead to additional negative outcomes, such as suicidal behaviors. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the comorbidity patterns of NSSI and depressive symptoms and provide valuable insights for future interventions.
methodsThis study examined the relationship between NSSI and depressive symptoms via a cross-lagged panel network (CLPN). A total of 866 Chinese junior high school students (39.80% girls, M
resultsComorbidity rates of NSSI and depressive symptoms ranged from 10.51 to 15.13% among the adolescents. Moreover, results of the CLPN indicated that somatic and retarded activity, depressive affect, and lack of positive affect were strongly and positively associated with multiple NSSI behaviors. Conversely, burning from the NSSI cluster could negatively predict somatic and retarded activity and depressive affect. In addition, somatic and retarded activity and depressed affect were bridge symptoms that linked the comorbidity between NSSI and depressive symptoms.
conclusionThese results demonstrate a negative reinforcement feedback pathway between NSSI and depressive symptoms, which provides evidence for intrapersonal negative reinforcement of NSSI. Furthermore, these findings identify the core and bridge symptoms between NSSI and depressive symptoms, which can provide new ideas for subsequent intervention treatments.
