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

introductionLow socioeconomic status (SES) has been shown to be associated with more internalizing problems, but the mechanism of this relationship has not been investigated in Chinese late adolescents.

methodsHigh school students (N = 780, 54.45% girls) were recruited to complete questionnaires to assess SES, anxiety, depression, and cognitive fusion. We tested the hypotheses that this association would be mediated by the psychological insecurity and moderated by their cognitive fusion.

resultsRegression-based analyses indicated that (1) psychological insecurity fully mediated the relationship between SES and internalizing problems; (2) late adolescents with high vs. low cognitive fusion showed a stronger positive association between psychological insecurity and internalizing problems. DISCUSSION: The results highlight the important effects of psychological security and family resources on late adolescents' mental health and give implications for interventions aimed to reduce adolescent internalizing problems through acceptance and commitment therapy.
