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

Urban adolescents' mental health is shaped by structural inequities and their engagement in sociopolitical resistance, yet the conditions under which critical action protects rather than harms mental health remain unclear. This study examined whether parental critical motivation, subjective social status, and involvement in anti-classist action moderated associations between adolescents' anti-classist action and psychological functioning in 228 urban adolescent-parent dyads (adolescents: M age = 15.11, SD = 1.46; 52.2% male). Regression analyses showed that higher parental critical motivation buffered the association between adolescents' communal action and depressive symptoms, and parental involvement attenuated associations between interpersonal action and both depressive symptoms and well-being. The findings underscore the protective role of family-level sociopolitical engagement and highlight implications for family-centered interventions supporting youth resilience amid systemic oppression.
