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

backgroundAdolescence is a period marked by physiological and psychological imbalances, which pose an increased risk for adolescents with major depressive disorder (MDD) to commit non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI).

aimTo investigate the moderating role of social support utilization in depression and NSSI among adolescents with MDD.

methodsThis cross-sectional study enrolled 314 adolescents with MDD (258 with NSSI, 56 without) from a Chinese tertiary psychiatric hospital (2021-2023). Participants completed validated scales, including the self-esteem scale, the Barratt impulsiveness scale, the self-rating depression scale, and the teenager social support rating scale. Logistic regression and hierarchical regression analyses were used to examine predictors of NSSI and the moderating effect of social support utilization.

resultsResults showed that the NSSI group had higher depression levels, lower self-esteem, and greater impulsivity. While overall social support was higher in the NSSI group, social support utilization significantly moderated the depression-NSSI relationship. Specifically, higher utilization levels weakened the association between depression and NSSI (

conclusionThese findings suggest that effective utilization of social support, rather than its mere presence, is crucial in reducing NSSI risk among depressed adolescents.
