Early life environmental unpredictability shapes non-suicidal self-injury: dual roles of experiential avoidance as mediator and moderator in Chinese college students.

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
backgroundNon-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) among college students is an increasing health concern for practitioners, caregivers, educators, and the broader community. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between early-life environmental unpredictability (ELEU) and NSSI, and to assess the mediating and moderating roles of experiential avoidance within this context among Chinese college students.
methodsAn online questionnaire survey including ELEU, NSSI, experiential avoidance and demographic variables was administered to a sample of 826 Chinese college students. The effect of ELEU on NSSI and the mediating and moderating roles of experiential avoidance on this relationship were examined, respectively.
resultsThe results indicated that ELEU was positively associated with NSSI and that experiential avoidance mediated this relationship. Moreover, experiential avoidance moderated the association between ELEU and NSSI, particularly enhancing the effect of ELEU on NSSI among college students with high levels of experiential avoidance.
conclusionsThese findings contribute to the literature by elucidating the complex effects of ELEU and experiential avoidance on the emergence of NSSI among undergraduate students through the utilization of both mediation and moderation analyses. Furthermore, this study underscores the importance of prioritizing the reduction of experiential avoidance in interventions designed to decrease NSSI among college students with ELEU.
