1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: Previous studies have shown that both family and school environments are significantly associated with depressive symptoms in adolescents. However, it remains unclear how specific patterns of the family-school environment influence later depressive symptoms and what mechanisms may explain this relationship. Methods: A total of 11860 adolescents completed web-based surveys during two periods: 21 April to 12 May 2021 (Time 1, T1) and 17 to 26 December 2021 (Time 2, T2). Participants reported on sample characteristics, family function, school climate, resilience, depressive symptoms, and negative life events. Latent profile analysis was used to identify profiles of family-school environment, and mediation analyses were conducted to examine whether resilience mediates the associations between these environmental profiles and depressive symptoms. Results: Four distinct family-school environment profiles were identified: (1) family dysfunction-poor school climate (32.2%), (2) good family function-good school climate (27.8%), (3) good family function-poor school climate (26.6%), and (4) family dysfunction-good school climate (13.4%). Compared with the "good family function-good school climate" group, participants in the other three profiles showed higher levels of depressive symptoms at T2, mediated by lower levels of resilience. Conclusions: These findings highlight the importance of monitoring adolescents' perceptions of their family and school environments in early depression screening. Timely and targeted interventions aimed at enhancing resilience may be beneficial for adolescents in high-risk environmental profiles.
