Autistic Traits and Social Anxiety in Chinese College Students: The Longitudinal Mediating Role of Rumination.

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
Background: Autistic traits (ATs) and social anxiety (SA) are closely associated; however, few studies have investigated the potential mediating mechanism of this relationship using longitudinal data. This study examined: (1) the developmental trajectories of ATs, rumination, and SA among college students; (2) whether the baseline levels of ATs predicted the developmental trajectories of SA; and (3) whether the trajectories of rumination mediated this longitudinal association. Methods: This study enrolled 397 college students to complete Broad Autism Phenotype Questionnaire, Discriminative Response Scale, and SA Disorder Dimension three times over the course of a year. Three unconditional latent growth models (LGMs) were first used to explore the trajectories of ATs, rumination, and SA, respectively. Then, a conditional LGM was used to examine the direct longitudinal association between ATs and SA. Finally, a structural equation model was further used to examine the longitudinal mediating role of rumination between ATs and SA. Results: For college students, ATs remained relatively stable, whereas rumination and SA declined across the study period. Furthermore, ATs positively predicted the intercept of SA ( Conclusions: These results indicate that college is a critical period for the abatement of rumination and SA. Furthermore, rumination might be one of the mechanisms underlying the link between ATs and SA. Interventions to prevent the negative impact of ATs might help to decrease the risk of rumination and SA in the college students.
