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

backgroundThe association between family socioeconomic status (SES) and adolescent well-being is complex, involving both present and future dimensions. This study examines perceived discrimination as a mediator in this association and grit as a potential moderator buffering the adverse effects of low SES and discrimination on adolescent well-being.

methodsThe study surveyed 2,202 students (53.3% male; ages 11-15 years) from Northeast China. The participants completed questionnaires assessing subjective socioeconomic status, objective socioeconomic status (parental education and occupation), perceived discrimination, grit, and both present- and future-oriented well-being. Mediation analyses and moderated mediation models were employed to test the hypothesized relationships.

resultsPerceived discrimination mediated the association between both subjective and objective socioeconomic status (SES) and adolescent well-being, with comparable indirect effect magnitudes for both SES types. Grit moderated the association between perceived discrimination and well-being, and the direct association between objective socioeconomic status and well-being. Grit's moderating effects were stronger for future-oriented well-being compared to present well-being, indicating its relevance for long-term outcomes.

conclusionsFindings indicate that family SES relates to adolescent well-being via perceived discrimination, and grit can mitigate these adverse impacts. This points to the potential value of interventions addressing systemic inequalities and strengthening psychological resources like grit among socioeconomically disadvantaged youth.
