How family cohesion affects adolescents' cyberbullying: The chain mediating role of social support and self-esteem.
Article in Medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Despite the recognition of the impact of family cohesion, social support, and self-esteem on cyberbullying, the precise pathways by which family cohesion affects cyberbullying - particularly through the mediating roles of social support and self-esteem - remain unclear. This study seeks to elucidate how family cohesion affects adolescents' cyberbullying through the chain mediating roles of social support and self-esteem. In December 2024, an anonymous paper-based survey was successfully conducted on 944 middle school students (M = 15.27, SD = 1.619) in Jiangsu and Shandong Provinces. Structural Equation Modeling using AMOS 24.0 and SPSS 24.0 (IBM Corporation, Armonk) was applied to analyze the pathways. The analysis revealed a significant direct negative association between family cohesion and adolescent cyberbullying. Furthermore, family cohesion exhibited an indirect negative effect on cyberbullying through 2 distinct pathways: via social support and via self-esteem. Additionally, a sequential mediation effect was observed, indicating that family cohesion reduced cyberbullying through the chain pathway of social support and self-esteem. Notably, the strongest indirect effect emerged in the path family cohesion →social support → cyberbullying. These findings elucidate the mechanisms linking family cohesion to reduced adolescent cyberbullying, offering valuable insights for developing targeted intervention and prevention strategies.
