Negative correlation between school bullying and multi-dimensional health in adolescent female migrants: a digital visual analog scale study.

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
Introduction: School bullying poses significant risks to the physiological and psychological health of female adolescent migrants, a vulnerable group often overlooked during their critical developmental period. This study investigates the specific correlations between different types of bullying exposure and multi-dimensional health outcomes among female high school students aged 15 to 18 in China. Methods: Data were derived from a longitudinal observational cohort, including clinical records and structured survey assessments. We introduced a novel digital visual analog scale (VAS) to quantify psychological tendencies (e.g., depressive symptoms, sleep disturbances) and physiological indicators (e.g., menstrual irregularities, EEG/ECG variations). Participants were categorized into five groups: violent bullying, multiple bullying, verbal bullying, social bullying, and a non-bullied control group. Statistical analyses were performed to compare health outcomes across these groups. Results: Students subjected to violent and multiple bullying exhibited markedly higher levels of physiological dysfunction and psychological distress compared to the control group. Verbal and social bullying also resulted in significant psychological symptoms. The severity of bullying showed a positive correlation with elevated VAS scores, indicating a dose-response relationship. These findings underscore the profound impact of school bullying on the health of female adolescent migrants. Discussion: The results highlight an urgent need for targeted early detection and intervention strategies for this population. The digital VAS developed in this study proves to be an effective and sensitive tool for educators and clinicians to monitor and address the adverse health outcomes of bullying. These findings call for integrated support systems that address both the physical and mental health of vulnerable adolescents.
