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
backgroundIrritability is a core symptom of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) in children and adolescent. Previous studies have reported a positive association between irritability and suicidal ideation. Based on the cognitive model of suicide and emotion regulation theory, the current study aimed to explore the role of rumination and distress tolerance in the relationship between irritability and suicidal ideation in adolescent patients with MDD.
methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted with 319 adolescent patients with MDD. Patients were clinically interviewed using the Development and Well-Being Assessment (DAWBA). The Children's Depression Inventory (CDI), Affective Reactivity Index (ARI), Ruminative Response Scale (RRS), Distress Tolerance Scale (DTS) and Positive and Negative Suicide Ideation Inventory (PANSI) were used to measure depressive severity, irritability, rumination, distress tolerance, and suicidal ideation. Descriptive and correlation analysis were conducted to examine the initial relationships among the main variables. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was conducted to investigate the mediating effects of rumination and distress tolerance in the relationship between irritability and suicidal ideation.
results82.76% of adolescent patients with MDD reported experiencing irritability. Both rumination (β = 0.080, p < 0.001, 95% CI [0.037, 0.136]) and distress tolerance (β = 0.081, p < 0.001, 95% CI [0.033, 0.145]) independently mediated the relationship between irritability and suicidal ideation. And the chain mediating effects of rumination and distress tolerance in the relationship between irritability and suicidal ideation were significant (β = 0.048, p < 0.001, 95% CI [0.022, 0.086]).
conclusionsRumination and distress tolerance played a chain mediating roles in the relationship between irritability and suicidal ideation, suggesting that rumination and distress tolerance may serve as important targets for intervention in the prevention and treatment of irritability and suicidal ideation in adolescents with MDD from an emotion regulation perspective.
