The relationship between adolescent bullying victimization, self-control and cyberbullying: a cross-lagged panel model.
Article in BMC psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Cyberbullying has emerged as a prevalent and harmful form of adolescent aggression in the digital age. While prior studies suggest that traditional bullying victimization may lead to cyberbullying perpetration, findings remain inconsistent, and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Guided by General Strain Theory and Self-Control Theory, this study explores the longitudinal relationships among bullying victimization, self-control, and cyberbullying among Chinese adolescents. A two-wave longitudinal survey was conducted among 622 vocational high school students over a six-month interval. Participants completed validated measures of bullying victimization, self-control, and cyberbullying. Cross-lagged panel modeling revealed that bullying victimization at T1 significantly predicted cyberbullying at T2, while self-control negatively predicted both bullying victimization and cyberbullying over time. Furthermore, bullying victimization at T2 fully mediated the effect of self-control on subsequent cyberbullying. These findings provide empirical support for the victim-offender overlap framework and underscore the protective role of self-control in mitigating cyberbullying. Implications for intervention and future research directions are discussed.
