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 aims to explore the relationships between national identity, self-esteem, and subjective well-being among adolescents, with a particular focus on the mediating role of self-esteem between national identity and subjective well-being. A questionnaire survey conducted among 1,948 Chinese adolescents revealed significant positive correlations between national identity, self-esteem, and subjective well-being (p < 0.01). Gender, status, and place of birth significantly influenced national identity, self-esteem, and subjective well-being (p < 0.05). Structural equation modeling analysis revealed that national identity has a positive and direct effect on self-esteem (estimate: 0.48, SE = 0.03, p < 0.001); self-esteem has a positive and direct effect on subjective well-being (estimate: 0.59, SE = 0.03, p < 0.001); and national identity has a positive and direct effect on subjective well-being (estimate: 0.25, SE = 0.05, p < 0.001). Additionally, self-esteem plays a crucial mediating role between national identity and subjective well-being (p < 0.001). These findings underscore the importance of national identity in adolescents' mental health and well-being and highlight the key role of self-esteem in mediating this relationship.
