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

backgroundNon-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) among adolescents is a growing concern in global adolescent mental health. This study examines psychosocial correlates of NSSI in adolescents presenting to a pediatric emergency department in Shanghai.

methodsA total of 612 adolescents (aged 12-18) presenting with unintentional injuries to the emergency department from July 2019 to July 2024 were enrolled. Structured interviews and validated questionnaires assessed demographic, familial, and school-related variables. NSSI behaviors were identified based on the DSM-5 criteria. Logistic regression analysis was used to examine associations with NSSI.

resultsOf the participants, 283 (46.2%) reported NSSI behaviors within the past 12 months, representing the past-year prevalence of NSSI. Female gender (OR = 7.130, junior high; OR = 6.000, high school), prior history of NSSI (OR = 8.452), single-parent household (OR = 2.934), higher parental education (OR = 2.476), and school bullying (OR = 3.195) were positively associated with NSSI. Living in suburban areas (OR = 0.581) and being cared for by non-parental caregivers (OR = 0.357) were inversely associated with NSSI.

conclusionNSSI was common in this emergency department sample, and several psychosocial characteristics were found to be associated with NSSI. These findings are descriptive and should not be interpreted causally, but they may contribute to hypothesis generation for future longitudinal research.
