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
Objective: To explore how peer relationship relates to subjective well-being in Chinese adolescents, and to examine the mediating roles of dispositional optimism and two emotion-regulation strategies (cognitive reappraisal, expressive suppression). Methods: A total of 1897 middle school students aged 11-19 (14.86 ± 1.69, 51.3% males) from Anhui Province, China, completed four questionnaires, by using a cluster convenience sampling method. The Adolescent Peer Relationship Scale, Index of Well-being, Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, and the Life Orientation Test-Revised were used to assess peer relationship, subjective well-being, emotion regulation ability and dispositional optimism, respectively. Data were statistically analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, group comparisons, and mediation analysis. Results: Peer relationship significantly and positively predicted the subjective well-being of middle school students ( Conclusion: This study found that peer relationship is positively associated with subjective well-being of middle school students. Furthermore, this relationship is explained through two key mechanisms: the independent mediating roles of dispositional optimism and cognitive reappraisal, and the sequential mediation pathway involving both. These findings underscore the importance of fostering positive peer relationship and cultivating psychological strengths such as optimism and adaptive emotion regulation strategies to enhance adolescents' well-being.
