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

objectiveThis study investigated the mediating effect of loneliness on the relationship between anhedonia and suicidal ideation, and the moderated mediating effect of emotional intelligence on the relationship between loneliness and suicidal ideation.

methodsParticipants (390 adults; males=194, females=196) aged between 19-59 years completed self-report questionnaires. Frequency and descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, mediating effect analysis, moderating effect analysis, and moderated mediating effect analysis were conducted using SPSS Statistics version 23.0 and the PROCESS Macro for SPSS version 4.2.

resultsLoneliness partially mediated the relationship between anhedonia and suicidal ideation. Additionally, emotional intelligence and its four subfactors moderated the relationship between loneliness and suicidal ideation. Finally, emotional intelligence and its subfactors (self-emotional appraisal, others' emotional appraisal, emotion utilization) moderated the mediating effect of anhedonia on suicidal ideation through loneliness, verifying the moderated mediating effect.

conclusionIt clarified the path that anhedonia has on suicidal ideation and confirmed the role of emotional intelligence.
