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
Introduction: The psychological mechanisms of future dangerous behaviors among probationers may be influenced by multiple factors. This study aims to explore the impact of relative deprivation on probationers' future dangerous behaviors, with a focus on the mediating role of negative coping styles and the moderating effect of self-esteem on this pathway. Methods: A survey was conducted among 1,023 probationers from 48 judicial offices across four provinces in China. Data were collected using the Future Dangerous Behaviors Questionnaire (FDQ), Relative Deprivation Questionnaire (RDQ), Coping Style Questionnaire (CSQ), and Self-Esteem Scale (SES). The moderated mediation model was tested using SPSS PROCESS macro 3.3 software, with negative coping styles as the mediator and self-esteem as the moderator, while controlling for age, gender, education, crime type, sentencing term, and residency status. Results: Relative deprivation was a significant predictor of probationers' future dangerous behaviors. Negative coping styles partially mediated the relationship between relative deprivation and future dangerous behaviors, while self-esteem negatively moderated both the direct effect of relative deprivation on future dangerous behaviors and the mediating effect of negative coping styles. Conclusion: This study demonstrates the pivotal roles of subjective perception (relative deprivation), psychological mechanisms (negative coping styles), and personal resources (self-esteem) in shaping probationers' future dangerous behaviors. Therefore, judicial officials should integrate community-based strategies to enhance probationers' adaptive coping skills and improve their self-esteem, thereby reducing the likelihood of further dangerous behaviors and promoting successful reintegration into society.
