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: This study examined the direct impact of self-control on aggressive behavior and the mediating roles of hostile attribution bias and both positive and negative implicit affect. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted among 545 vocational students at a vocational school in Henan Province, utilizing the Self-Control Scale, Hostile Attribution Bias Questionnaire, Implicit Positive-Negative Affect Test, and Aggressiveness Behavior Scale as measurement tools. Data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0 and PROCESS 4.1. Results: The findings revealed that selfcontrol negatively correlated with aggressive behavior, negative implicit affect, and hostile attribution bias, but showed a positive correlation with positive implicit affect. A significant chained mediating effect of hostile attribution bias and negative implicit affect was observed, while the mediating effect of positive implicit affect was not significant. Discussion: These results confirm that self-control influences aggressive behavior through a complex psychological pathway, highlighting the critical roles of hostile attribution bias and negative implicit affect in this process. The findings provide a basis for interventions targeting aggressive behavior based on psychological variables.
