Perceived social support and self-esteem predict cyberbullying among rural left-behind adolescents.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between perceived social support, self-esteem, and cyberbullying among rural left-behind adolescents. A cross-lagged analysis was conducted with a sample of 981 rural left-behind adolescents Jiangsu province and Sichuan province, who completed a questionnaire twice at 3-month intervals. The results indicated that: (1) Perceived social support at Time 1 positively and significantly predicted self-esteem at Time 2, while negatively and significantly predicting cyberbullying at Time 2; (2) Self-esteem at Time 1 did not significantly predict perceived social support and cyberbullying at Time 2; (3) Cyberbullying at Time 1 did not significantly and negatively predicted perceived social support at Time 2, and while negatively and significantly predicting self-esteem at Time 2; (4) Self-esteem plays a partial mediating role between perceived social support and cyberbullying. This study contributes to understanding the mechanisms underlying the association between perceived social support and cyberbullying behaviors among rural adolescents, and also holds practical significance for intervention and prevention activities.
