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

Secondary school students often experience concurrent pressures from social interactions and academic demands, leaving them vulnerable to rejection sensitivity. Adaptive strategies such as cognitive reappraisal and prosocial behavior may reduce sensitivity and promote positive social adaptation. A total of 1,214 first-year secondary school students (Mage=15.46, SDage=0.71; 39.30% girls) from eastern China participated in a three-wave longitudinal study conducted at six-month intervals.. Cross-lagged panel models (CLPM) and random-intercept cross-lagged panel models (RI-CLPM) were employed to examine inter-individual stability and intra-individual dynamics. The results showed that, in both models, cognitive reappraisal and prosocial behavior could reduce rejection sensitivity, whereas rejection sensitivity impaired adolescents’ cognitive reappraisal and prosocial behavior. The RI-CLPM model further revealed two key pathways: enhanced prosocial behavior not only promoted cognitive reappraisal by reducing rejection sensitivity, but also reduced rejection sensitivity further by improving cognitive reappraisal. These findings shed light on the risk and protective mechanisms involved in the emotional socialization of secondary school students. They emphasize the malleability of rejection sensitivity and provide a theoretical foundation and practical implications for fostering students’ social and emotional capability and providing psychological support.
