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
Type 1 diabetes is common in children and adolescents. The disease causes psychosocial mismatches and makes adolescents more vulnerable to peer victimization. This study aims to determine the relationship between peer victimization and self-esteem in adolescents with type 1 diabetes and to evaluate the impact of psychological resilience in this relationship. The sample consisted of 222 adolescents with type 1 diabetes in Turkey. The research data were collected via Personal Information Form, Peer Victimization Scale, Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale-Short Form, and Adolescent Psychological Resilience Scale. Data were collected by face-to-face interviews with children. The relationships among the study variables were examined using Pearson correlation analysis, and SPSS Macro was utilized to construct the regression model and test the mediation hypotheses. Peer victimization correlated negatively with resilience (r = - 0.668, p < 0.01) and self-esteem (r = - 0.635, p < 0.01), while resilience correlated positively with self-esteem (r = 0.571, p < 0.01). Mediation analysis confirmed that peer victimization lowers self-esteem both directly and indirectly through resilience (indirect effect: - 0.012, BootLLCI = 0.019, BootULCI = - 0.005), emphasizing its protective role.
conclusionResilience plays an important role in reducing the negative effects of peer bullying on self-esteem in adolescents with type 1 diabetes. Adolescents with high resilience are better able to maintain their self-esteem even if they are bullied. However, as academic pressure and educational level increase, self-esteem may decrease more. The results underscore the necessity of interventions aimed at reducing the negative effects of peer victimization, promoting self-esteem, and enhancing psychological resilience to improve overall well-being. WHAT IS KNOWN: • Type 1 diabetes causes not only physical but also psychosocial problems in children and can expose young people to bullying behaviors. WHAT IS NEW: • Psychological resilience reduces the negative effects of peer bullying. While the coping skills of adolescents exposed to bullying were weakened, those with high psychological resilience maintained their self-esteem better. Peer bullying directly and indirectly affects self-esteem negatively. Although psychological resilience mitigates some of this negative effect, self-esteem decreases significantly in adolescents exposed to bullying. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version) • While age positively affects self-esteem and psychological resilience, educational level may negatively affect self-esteem. It has been observed that adolescents under academic pressure or in older age groups have more difficulty in maintaining their self-esteem. What is significant for clinical practice? • Diabetes management should also be addressed from a psychosocial perspective, and negative experiences (such as bullying) experienced by children should be identified and overcome by using coping mechanisms.
