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
backgroundEmotional intelligence (EI) is a key factor in adolescents' health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Previous research has shown that higher EI is associated with better HRQoL outcomes. However, its protective role may be weakened by adverse experiences such as peer victimization. This study examined whether forms of peer victimization moderate the relationship between EI and specific HRQoL dimensions.
methodsA total of 1427 Spanish adolescents completed a survey-based assessment, including validated measures of victimization (APRI-Bullying), HRQoL (KIDSCREEN-52), and EI (TMMS-24). Moderation effects were tested using multivariate linear regression and the PROCESS macro in SPSS.
resultsVerbal victimization moderated the associations between all EI dimensions and the "Social Support and Peers" HRQoL dimension. Social victimization moderated the relationships of "Attention" and "Clarity" with this dimension, whereas physical violence moderated the association between "Repair" and this dimension. No moderating effects were found for Psychological Well-being. IMPLICATIONS FOR SCHOOL HEALTH POLICY, PRACTICE, AND EQUITY: School-based EI programs may enhance adolescents' coping with peer victimization and help protect HRQoL in victimized adolescents.
conclusionsThe positive association between EI and the HRQoL dimension related to perceived social support could disappear in adolescents exposed to moderate or high levels of peer victimization.
