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
Bullying victimization is a significant public health concern among adolescents, with profound psychological and behavioral consequences. Grounded in an ecological and ethical framework, this study connects psychological mechanisms with the moral and institutional responsibilities involved in protecting adolescents' wellbeing. It examines the associations between bullying victimization, suicidal behavior, help-seeking attitudes, and resilient coping among a sample of 987 middle school students (aged 12-15) in China. Additionally, it explores the mediating roles of peer support and core self-evaluations in these associations. Data were analyzed using SmartPLS with the PROCESS module. The results indicate that bullying victimization is positively associated with suicidal behavior, and negatively associated with help-seeking attitudes and resilient coping. Core self-evaluations significantly mediate the associations between bullying victimization and both help-seeking attitudes and resilient coping, highlighting the importance of self-perceptions in mitigating adverse effects. Peer support, while positively related to help-seeking attitudes and resilient coping, did not significantly mediate the association between bullying victimization and suicidal behavior. These findings suggest that individual psychological resources play a crucial role in shaping adolescents' responses to bullying, while social support alone may not be sufficient to buffer the risk of suicidality. The study underscores the need for multi-level and culturally sensitive interventions, integrating school-based mental health programs, counseling services, and family support initiatives to strengthen resilience and promote help-seeking among adolescents.
