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

This study aims to explore the relationship between social capital and depressive symptoms among adolescents relocated for poverty alleviation and its gender differences. A cross-sectional study was conducted from June to August 2023 in Shanxi, China. The Social Capital Questionnaire for Adolescent Students (SCQ-AS) was used to assess the social capital of relocated adolescents, and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21-D) was used to assess their depressive symptoms. This study uses descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression methods to study the level and significance of the association between social capital and depressive symptoms among relocated adolescents for poverty alleviation. This study included a total of 631 relocated adolescents for poverty alleviation, with a depressive symptoms detection rate of 15.2%. Social capital (AOR: 0.801, 95% CI 0.754-0.852, p < 0.001) and its subdimensions, school cohesion (AOR: 0.664, 95%CI 0.589-0.748, p < 0.001), school friendship (AOR:0.621, 95%CI 0.526-0.733, p < 0.001), neighborhood social cohesion (AOR: 0.705, 95%CI 0.595-0.835, p < 0.001), and trust (AOR: 0.848, 95%CI 0.729-0.986, p < 0.05), were significantly negatively related to depressive symptoms. Social capital was significantly associated with depressive symptoms among both males and females (AOR
