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

Background: India has a large population of children under 18, one-third of the total population. Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) has experienced an increase in juveniles in conflict with the law compared to the rest of the country. This study aimed to assess the socio-demographic profiles, psychosocial factors, and psychopathology of juveniles in conflict with the law in Kashmir who were referred to our institute for assessment. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study assessed records from January 2022 to June 2024. Data related to the socio-demographic profile, psychosocial factors, psychiatric disorders, charged offenses, and psychological assessments (Draw a Picture Test [DAPT], Rorschach Inkblot Test [RIBT]) were extracted and analysed. Results: The mean age of the subjects was 17.24 years, and all participants were male. A history of child labor was reported in 29.26% of the subjects, while 41.46% ( Conclusion: Our study observed a link between juvenile delinquency and developmental, psychological, and social factors. Anxiety, hyperactivity, and peer influence were frequently reported among the cases analysed, highlighting areas requiring further exploration. The findings underscore the importance of addressing developmental and mental health conditions, as well as psychosocial factors, in juveniles in conflict with the law. Future research should explore targeted rehabilitation programs and longitudinal studies to establish causality. In limitation, this retrospective study used descriptive statistics, limiting the ability to infer causation.
