Adolescent health in relation to their peers: likeability as a resilience factor.
Article in SSM - population health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Adolescence is a period in which health-related behaviors develop. Peer group influence plays an important role in this development. Some adolescents are, however, more or less resilient to peer influence. We argue that students' likeability amongst their classroom peers functions as a resilience factor in the relation between the health of classroom peers and their own health. We test this by studying 7th grade students from the Taiwan Youth Project (N = 2350) in 81 classrooms, examining the differences in individual and classroom health one year later. The results show that there is indeed a contextual effect of classroom health on individual health, but this effect is weaker to nonexistent, the better liked a student is. Students who score low on likeability are most susceptible to peer influence. The moderation of likeability is only found for boys. Our study shows that likeability is an important resilience factor to social influence and offers insight in how contexts differentially shape individual behaviors.
