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

objectiveTo examine the impact of perceived school environment on adolescent depression, and the moderating effects of intergenerational interactions.

methodsBased on the 2018 adolescent questionnaire data from the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS), regression analysis was conducted using Stata 17.0 on a sample of 1058 individuals, focusing on depression status, perceived school environment, and intergenerational interactions.

results(1) Adolescent depression was significantly associated with lower parent-child communication (β= -0.06, p < 0.001), lower school satisfaction (β=-0.10, p < 0 0.001), higher academic pressure (β = 0.35, p < 0.001), and more frequent externalizing problem behaviors (β = 1.29, p < 0.001). (2) Intergenerational interaction played an important buffering role: behavioral evaluation negatively moderated the effect of academic pressure on depression (β = -0.05, p < 0.05), while parent-child communication negatively moderated the effect of externalizing problem behaviors on depression (β = -0.06, p < 0.01).

conclusionPerceived school environment is an important factor affecting adolescent depression, and intergenerational interaction (especially behavioral evaluation and parent-child communication) can effectively buffer the negative effects of some risk factors (academic pressure, externalizing problem behaviors).
