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
objectivesNon-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is highly prevalent among adolescents and young adults with mood disorders. This study aims examine the occurrence and motivation of NSSI behavior in real-life contexts, as well as the dynamic characteristics of associated emotional changes.
methodsAn observational study was conducted among 135 adolescents and young adults with a history of NSSI urges and/or behaviors. Participants completed a 14-day ecological momentary assessment (EMA), with 3 random assessments per day capturing NSSI behavior, environmental factors, and mood states through a WeChat-based EMA mini-program, yielding a total of 3 976 assessments. According to whether NSSI behavior occurred during the EMA monitoring period, the participants were divided into the NSSI behavior (NSSI+) group and the non-NSSI behavior (NSSI-) group. Linear mixed-effects models were used to analyze trajectories of emotional change.
resultsA total of 31.9% of participants engaged in at least 1 episode of NSSI during the study period. Among NSSI behaviors, cutting was the most common (56.8%), followed by biting (15.2%). Regarding settings, most (68.6%) behaviors occurred at home, primarily during rest or inactivity (38.1%), and 44.9% of behaviors occurred when alone. Approximately 74.6% of behaviors followed non-interpersonal life events. The primary motivation was self-induced negative reinforcement. The NSSI group had a significantly younger age of first self-injury than the non-NSSI group (14.0 years vs 16.0 years,
conclusionsNSSI behavior is closely associated with fluctuations in negative affect, and the accumulation of negative emotions may serve as a critical precursor to NSSI. Emotion regulation is the primary motivation for engaging in NSSI, suggesting that interventions targeting emotional processes may help reduce the occurrence of NSSI.
