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

methods297 youths affected by parental HIV/AIDS were recruited to completed questionnaires of social exclusion, perceived stress, future orientation and mental health. The bootstrap method was used to examine the mediation effects.

resultsIt showed that: (1) the social exclusion (M = 32.48, SD = 15.25) significantly and negatively predicted the mental health (M = 93.27, SD = 19.08). (2) Perceived stress (M = 39.28, SD = 6.35) mediated the negative effect of the social exclusion and mental health. (3) Future orientation (M = 57.44, SD = 8.15) mediated the relationship between social exclusion and mental health. (4) Perceived stress and future orientation could play a chain-mediating role in the mechanism of social exclusion affecting the mental health.

conclusionsResults of this study support the Stress and Coping Theory (SCT) and demonstrate the damaging effect of perceived stress and the protective effect of future orientation in mediating the relationship between social exclusion and mental health among youths affected by parental HIV/AIDS in China. Future mental health promotion and intervention efforts targeting these youths or other youths with early childhood adversity should include components that could mitigate the negative impact of social exclusion on their lives.
