The Moderating Role of Sensory Processing Sensitivity in Social Skills Enhancement and Bullying Prevention Among Adolescents.

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
Bullying is a global issue that is associated with negative life outcomes. Anti-bullying programs have been shown to be effective, but with heterogeneity across studies. Thus, we examined how sensory processing sensitivity (SPS)-a biologically based trait associated with Differential Susceptibility to environmental factors-moderates the effects of a school-based, anti-bullying program. Students (301 middle-school students, M age = 12 years) in the United States underwent a 4-week anti-bullying and competency-enhancing program. They also completed competency (e.g., social skills) and bullying prevention skills measures prior to (T1) and after the intervention (T2); and the Highly Sensitive Child Scale (measure of SPS). Results of multivariate analyses revealed that youth with higher SPS showed greater increases in decision-making, media resistance, social, and bullying prevention skills at T2. Consistent with theories of Differential Susceptibility and Environmental Sensitivity, results revealed that high SPS was associated with stronger responsivity to a psychoeducational intervention, as shown by increased cognitive, social, and behavioral domain scores. Findings from the present study underscore the moderating role of SPS on factors that impact human health and development.
