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
Background: In the context of heightened social competition and increasing academic pressure, promoting the healthy development of adolescents has become a critical concern. This study investigates the impact and mechanisms through which adolescents' social and emotional skills influence their health behavior. Specifically, we hypothesized that social and emotional skills would positively affect health behavior, with test and class anxiety mediating and satisfaction with interpersonal relationships moderating this relationship. Methods: Using data from the 2023 OECD Survey on Social and Emotional Skills, this study employed a moderated mediation model to analyze the relationships between variables. The sample consisted of 6,737 adolescents, comprising 3,454 10-year-olds (51.3%) and 3,283 15-year-olds (48.7%); 3,484 were boys (51.7%) and 3,253 were girls (48.3%). Key variables assessed included social and emotional skills (e.g., task performance, emotional regulation), health behaviors (e.g., diet, exercise, sleep), test and class anxiety, and satisfaction with interpersonal relationships. Statistical analyses included Harman's single-factor test for common method bias, correlation analysis, regression analysis, and PROCESS macro in SPSS to test mediation and moderation effects. Results: The study found that adolescents' social and emotional skills positively influence their health behavior, with a significant direct effect (β = 0.375, Conclusion: This study highlights the critical role of social and emotional skills in promoting healthy behaviors among adolescents and underscores the importance of interpersonal relationships in moderating these effects. The results provide insights for policymakers and educators to design interventions that foster both social and emotional skills and supportive relational environments to enhance adolescent wellbeing.
