Article in BMC psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundIn recent years, research on bullying has focused on the association between moral disengagement and bullying behaviors. Additionally, the adverse effects that bullying has on school-level variables have been investigated. However, studies investigating the interplay between these variables are lacking.
methodTherefore, the present study focuses on the moderating effect of moral disengagement on the association between bullying roles (bully, victim, assistant, outsider, and defender) and school well-being. 216 (53.7% female; M = 12.84 years, SD = 1.39 years) secondary school students from Bremen and Lower Saxony, Germany, participated in the study from January 2022 until July 2022.
resultsThe results highlight the moderating role of moral disengagement in the association between victimization experience and school well-being. According to these findings, the more victimization someone experiences, the worse they feel in school. However, the detachment from moral norms weakens this bond.
conclusionThe discussion explores the notions of cognitive scripts, reduced moral beliefs, and their potential influence on individuals repeatedly victimized by bullying. The focus is on how these individuals may cope by distancing themselves from moral norms.
