The impact of life events on NSSI among left-behind college students: the mediating role of PLEs and the moderating role of social support.

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
This study investigated the relationship between life events and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) among Chinese college students with left-behind experiences, focusing on the mediating role of Psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) and the moderating role of social support in this relationship. A total of 7,577 students were surveyed using the Adolescent Self-Rating Life Events Checklist (ASLEC), 8 positive symptom items from the Community Assessment of Psychic Experiences (CAPE), the Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS), and the Deliberate Self-Harm Inventory (DSHI). After excluding invalid questionnaires, 5,754 were retained, of which 2,772 college students had left-behind experiences. The results show that (1) The prevalence of NSSI among college students with left-behind experiences was 11.51%, which was higher than that of college students without left-behind experiences (9.66%); (2) PLEs partially mediated the effect of life events on NSSI; (3) Social support moderated the first-stage path, second-stage path, and direct path of the mediation model by attenuating the effects of life events on PLEs, PLEs on NSSI, and the direct effects of life events on NSSI. So, we conclude that, among college students with left-behind experiences, PLEs mediate the effect of life events on NSSI, while social support moderates the mediation model by influencing the first-stage path from life events to PLEs, the second-stage path from PLEs to NSSI, and the direct path from life events to NSSI.
