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

Introduction: Previous research on negative emotions has primarily focused on middle and high school students. Based on the cumulative risk model framework, this study targeting early adolescents integrates parental psychological control, peer rejection and aggressive behavior to investigate their associations with negative emotions, while also examining the protective moderation of awe of life. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a total of 1,163 early adolescents (M Results: (1) Parental psychological control was significantly positively correlated with peer rejection, aggressive behavior, and negative emotions. (2) Parental psychological control showed a direct positive association with negative emotions (β = 0.179, Discussion: The chained accumulation of family, peer, and individual risk factors constitutes a core mechanism underlying negative emotions, with parental psychological control emerging as the primary influencing factor. Awe of life, meanwhile, provides buffering protection by moderating the direct pathway. Systemic disruption of this risk accumulation process can be achieved by reducing parental psychological control, improving peer relationships, and cultivating awe of life. These insights offer actionable strategies for families and educators to design targeted interventions aimed at enhancing mental health in early adolescence.
