The mediating roles of interpersonal sensitivity and rumination in the relationship between self-esteem and depression: a longitudinal study on Chinese psychiatric patients.

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
This study examined the relationship between self-esteem, interpersonal sensitivity, rumination, and depression in psychiatric patients. Participants included 159 adults with major depressive disorder (MDD) or generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) (Age: M = 31.69, SD = 11.54; 70.4% Female). The study measured depression, self-esteem and interpersonal sensitivity at T1 and rumination and depression at T2 after 10 to 14 days. The study found that after controlling for depression at T1, age, gender, and measurement time interval, low self-esteem at T1 could impact depression at T2 through the mediation of reflection at T2, as well as through the chain mediation of interpersonal sensitivity at T1 and rumination at T2. The results indicated that for patients of MDD or GAD with low self-esteem, we could pay attention to intervening with rumination and interpersonal sensitivity, such as applying rumination-focused cognitive behavioral therapy or interpersonal psychotherapy.
