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
In recent years, the incidence of depression in adolescents has continued to rise, which has become a hot issue of global concern. Through a cross-sectional survey, this study aims to explore the relationship between perceived parental rejection and depression in high school students, and to test the chain mediating effect of rumination and alexithymia in the relationship between them. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 2,310 high school students using the Short-from Egna Minnen av Barndoms Uppfostran for Chinese Scale, the Ruminative Responses Scale, the Toronto Alexithymia Scale and the Chinese version of Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II). The results showed that parental rejection was positively correlated with depression in high school students. The mediating effects of rumination and alexithymia between parental rejection and depression were significant. Rumination and alexithymia played a chain mediating role between parental rejection and depression. Conclusion: Parental rejection not only directly predicts the depression levels of high school students, but also indirectly affects their depression through the independent mediating effects of rumination and alexithymia, as well as the chain mediating effect of rumination-alexithymia. This study constructs and validates this model for the first time, thereby deepening the understanding of the complex mechanism between parental rejection and depression in high school students and providing important insights for the prevention and intervention of depression.
