Article in World journal of psychiatry, 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
backgroundRepeated non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) behaviors are frequently associated with negative emotions, impulsivity and addictive-like characteristics.
aimTo explore the protective role of perceived social support against self-injury addiction among adolescents engaging in NSSI.
methodsThis cross-sectional study enrolled 102 Chinese adolescents with NSSI from outpatient clinics at a local hospital between January 2024 and April 2024, and their perceived social support, depression and anxiety emotions, impulsivity, and self-injury addiction were assessed using the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11), and addiction subscale of the Revised Chinese Version of Ottawa Self-injury Inventory (ROSI-addiction).
resultsAmong adolescents with NSSI, ROSI-addiction scores were negatively correlated with MSPSS factors and positively correlated with SAS scores, SDS scores, and all BIS-11 factors except Cognitive instability. Meanwhile, MSPSS factors were negatively correlated with SAS and SDS scores; SAS and SDS scores exhibited positively correlations with the BIS-11 dimensions of Attention, Perseverance, Self-control and Cognitive complexity. Moreover, perceived social support demonstrated both direct and indirect negative relations with self-injury addiction, mediated by anxiety, depression and impulsivity.
conclusionNegative emotions and impulsivity mediated the inverse correlation between perceived social support and self-injury addiction in adolescents with NSSI. Enhancing available social support, and regulating anxiety, depression and impulsivity may be fundamental for intervention of in NSSI.
