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
Supportive family and peer relationships foster healthy development and enhance adolescents' capacity to thrive despite adverse life circumstances. Our aim was to assess the association of family support and peer support with selected mental health indices of adolescents, controlling for a wide range of sociodemographic characteristics and behavioural factors. A cross-sectional study, conducted in Albania in 2022, included a nationwide representative sample of 5454 adolescents aged 11, 13, and 15 years (≈52% girls; overall response: ≈96%). Data on mental health indices [Cantril's ladder-based life satisfaction measure, WHO-5 wellbeing index, and GAD-7], family support and peer support, and sociodemographic and behavioural factors were collected. General linear model and binary logistic regression were used to assess the independent associations of family support and peer support with mental health indices. In fully-adjusted models, mean values of all three mental health indices were higher (indicating better mental health) among adolescents with high levels of family support and/or peer support compared with their counterparts without high support levels (P < .001 for all). Furthermore, the odds of 'high life satisfaction', 'good mood', and 'little/no anxiety' were all higher among adolescents who reported high family support and/or peer support compared to those without high support levels (P < .001 for all). High peer support levels and especially high family support levels were strongly and independently associated with better mental health outcomes among adolescents in Albania. Our findings highlight the importance of fostering supportive social environments to promote youth mental wellbeing across diverse sociodemographic and behavioural contexts.
