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

Introduction: Adolescents are navigating a critical phase of developmental transition, characterized by a profound need for interpersonal communication and mutual understanding. This study investigates the relationship between childhood emotional trauma and social avoidance and distress among junior high school students, with the goal of establishing effective interpersonal interaction patterns and fostering the healthy physical and mental development of adolescents. Methods: A model was developed to examine the mediating role of psychological resilience in the relationship between childhood emotional trauma and social avoidance and distress, as well as the moderating role of left-behind experience within this mediating pathway. Data from 577 students were analyzed using SPSS 22. Results: (1) Childhood emotional trauma significantly and positively predicts social avoidance and distress; (2) psychological resilience mediates the relationship between childhood emotional trauma and social avoidance and distress; (3) left-behind experience moderates the association between psychological resilience and social avoidance and distress. Discussion: These findings contribute to the theoretical understanding of childhood trauma and its social consequences, while offering practical insights for addressing social avoidance and distress among junior high school students. The study also discusses its theoretical and practical implications, limitations, and potential directions for future research.
