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
backgroundAdolescents in out-of-home care face higher mental health risks and exhibit significant behavioural difficulties associated with these risks. Resilience processes involve a complex interplay between individual, family and community characteristics, enhancing mental well-being while reducing the risk of depression and anxiety. Despite its significance, research on resilience factors in Thai adolescents in out-of-home care remains limited.
methodsThis cross-sectional study explored the factors influencing resilience among adolescents living in five out-of-home care facilities in Bangkok. A total of 407 participants were recruited through cluster sampling. Eligible participants were required to be within 10-19 years, able to read, write, or communicate effectively and provide written informed consent. Data collection was conducted using a self-report questionnaire, which included several standardised tools: the Youth Risk Behavior Survey to evaluate safety, the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment to assess attachment to caregivers and peers, the 9-item Resilience Inventory to measure resilience levels, the Patient Health Questionnaire for Adolescents to assess depression, and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder questionnaire to assess anxiety. Data were analysed using Pearson correlation and multivariate linear regression.
resultsPeer attachment demonstrated the strongest positive association with resilience (B=1.486, p<0.001), followed by caregiver attachment (B=0.561, p=0.014). Higher depressive symptoms (B=-0.236, p=0.011) and suicidal risk (B=-2.276, p=0.008) were significantly associated with lower resilience. Factors such as extracurricular activities, sense of safety and physical or mental health conditions were not significantly associated with resilience in multivariate analysis.
conclusionAdolescents in out-of-home care with strong relationships with caregivers and peers displayed greater resilience and lower rates of depression and suicidal risk. These findings highlight the importance of supportive relationships in fostering resilience and improving mental health outcomes in this population.
