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: Transitional age youth experiencing homelessness (TAY-EH) face a disproportionate burden of adversity, psychiatric and substance-related morbidity, and negative outcomes including suicide, which may be attenuated by resilience. Though variably defined, resilience encompasses both internal attitudes and external supports; however, prior quantitative studies in TAY-EH have focused mainly on internal resilience. The aim of this study was to examine the interplay of internal and external resilience factors in buffering against suicidal ideation and self-injurious behaviors (SI/SIB) in a sample of TAY-EH. Method: TAY-EH in a metropolitan area completed cross-sectional quantitative assessments of internal resilience, social connectedness, structured psychiatric and substance use disorder diagnoses, and psychosocial factors. Outcome variables included the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, the Social Connectedness Scale, and past SI/SIB. Analyses examined correlates of high vs low internal resilience and the role of social connectedness as a mediator of the relation between internal resilience and SI/SIB. Results: The full assessment was completed by 140 TAY-EH. When comparing higher and lower resilience groups (median split), no differences were found in rates of psychiatric illness or substance use disorder. In contrast, higher internal resilience was associated with male gender identity, high social connectedness, and low SI/SIB (vs lower resilience; Conclusion: This study highlights the critical interplay of internal resilience skills/attitudes and external resilience supports in buffering against negative outcomes such as SI/SIB in TAY-EH. These findings add evidence to the crucial need for treatment interventions that incorporate internal and external resilience factors for TAY-EH.
