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

objectiveThis study aimed to explore longitudinal associations between bullying victimisation, coping, and self-harm among adolescents living in a diverse, densely-populated urban population in London, United Kingdom.

methodData on bullying victimisation, dispositional use of four coping strategies (active, avoidant, distraction, support seeking), and self-harm were drawn from REACH (Resilience, Ethnicity and AdolesCent mental Health), an accelerated cohort study of adolescent mental health in South London. Data was available for 3,060 adolescents aged 11-14 years (M

resultsBullying victimisation at baseline was associated with self-harm at one-year follow up (aRR 1.66). Avoidant (aRR 1.36) and distraction (aRR 1.20) coping were associated with increased risk of self-harm. Active (aRR 0.74) and support seeking (aRR 0.78) coping were associated with decreased risk. None of the coping strategies moderated the association between bullying victimisation and self-harm, and no clear sex differences were found for any results.

conclusionsFindings underline the importance of tackling bullying and promoting coping as part of a wider holistic approach to modifying the impact of adverse experiences. Among victims of bullying, future research should investigate situation-specific measures of coping, as this will better explain how young people cope specifically with this form of childhood adversity.
