Adverse Childhood Experiences Increase Peer Victimization among Early Adolescents: the Longitudinal Mediating Roles of Executive Function and Social Anxiety.
Article in Journal of youth and adolescence, 2026. 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 that childhood adversity is a significant risk factor for peer victimization, few studies have differentiated between the distinct dimensions of adverse experiences and their potential mechanisms. The present study employed a three-wave longitudinal design to investigate the impact of adverse childhood experiences on peer victimization among 578 Chinese primary school students (ages 8 to 12 years, M = 9.12, SD = 1.12; 45.85% girls) and revealed the mediating pathways of executive function and social anxiety. Results indicated that childhood harshness and unpredictability were positively associated with low executive function, increased social anxiety, and higher levels of peer victimization. Structural equation modeling demonstrated that both childhood harshness and unpredictability not only directly and positively predicted peer victimization but also exerted indirect effects through social anxiety and a chain mediation of executive function and social anxiety. These findings underscore the importance and key explanatory mechanisms of adverse childhood experiences in increasing peer victimization, and highlights the priority of social anxiety in future intervention strategies.
