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: Adolescent non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) constitutes a critical global health challenge, generating profound internalized stigma and familial burden among caregivers. However, the underlying mechanisms governing the relationship between these factors remain poorly understood. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted. A sample of 385 caregivers of adolescents with NSSI completed the Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness Scale, Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-Item Scale, Social Support Rating Scale, and Family Burden Scale of Disease. Moderated mediation analysis was employed to examine the dual mechanisms whereby anxiety mediates and social support moderates the stigma-to-burden pathway among caregivers. Results: The results revealed a pronounced direct effect of internalized stigma on caregiver burden ( Conclusions: This study confirms a psychosocial pathway where internalized stigma exacerbates caregiver burden through anxiety-mediated mechanisms, while social support exerts moderated effects by mitigating anxiety's mediating potency. These findings highlight the need for comprehensive strategies to reduce stigma, lower anxiety, and strengthen social support to break the cycle of ongoing stress for caregivers.
