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 investigates the relationship between school bullying and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) in adolescents, with a particular focus on the mediating role of alexithymia and the moderating effect of friendship quality. The present study employed the Bullying Questionnaire, the Toronto Alexithymia Scale, the Friendship Quality Questionnaire, and the Adolescent Non-Suicidal Self-Injury Assessment Questionnaire with 701 middle school students. The results indicate that (1) Student bullying significantly predicts NSSI (79.92%) and (2) alexithymia partially mediated this relationship (20.08%). Moreover, (3) friendship quality was identified as a significant moderator in the relationship between student bullying and NSSI (
