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

backgroundNumerous factors have been explored that impact the development of Chinese adolescents' non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), yet the impact of cumulative family risk on NSSI and its underlying mechanism remains unclear.

methodsA total of 891 adolescents participated in a follow-up study over a 12-month period. During this follow-up, they completed the Cumulative Family Risk Questionnaire, Effortful Control Scale, Zhong-Yong Thinking Style Scale, and Non-Suicidal Self-Injury Scale.

resultsThe results indicated that (1) cumulative family risk was significantly and positively associated with NSSI in adolescents (β = 0.456, p < 0.001); (2) effortful control partially mediated the longitudinal relationship between cumulative family risk and NSSI (indirect effect = 0.180, bootstrap 95% CI [0.140, 0.226]), with the mediating effect accounting for 28.346% of the total effect; and (3) both the direct effect of cumulative family risk on NSSI (β = -0.161, p < 0.001) and the first part of the longitudinal mediating effect of effortful control (β = 0.105, p < 0.001) were moderated by the Zhong-Yong thinking style. Specifically, the Zhong-Yong thinking style moderated both the direct and indirect effects, with the effects weakest among Chinese adolescents with low levels of the Zhong-Yong thinking style.

conclusionThe partially longitudinal mediating role of effortful control and the longitudinal moderating role of the Zhong-Yong thinking style in the relationship between cumulative family risk and NSSI were confirmed in Chinese adolescents. These findings offer empirical support for the development of targeted preventive strategies to address NSSI among Chinese adolescents in the future.
