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
Objective: Bullying is a serious problem among school-age children, contributing to both internalizing and externalizing difficulties. The existing literature does not place much emphasis on the factors explaining the link between victimization and psychological difficulties. This study looked into the roles of rumination and self-efficacy in this relationship. Method: Data was collected from 362 children (202 girls; Results: Findings revealed a main effect of bullying status (being a victim of bullying vs. being non-involved) on rumination, self-efficacy, and internalizing/externalizing symptoms. Additional analyses explored different existing profiles (non-involved who stayed non-involved, new victims, escaped victims, and continuous victims) in terms of their psychological difficulties, ruminative responses, and self-efficacy. Mediation analyses show that victimization at Time 1 predicts internalizing difficulties at Time 2, but this effect is not mediated by rumination or self-efficacy. Conversely, victimization indirectly predicts externalizing symptoms at Time 2 via rumination. Moreover, internalizing symptoms at Time 1 predict victimization at Time 2 through both rumination and self-efficacy, while externalizing symptoms at Time 1 predict victimization at Time 2 via self-efficacy. Conclusions: The findings provide practical insights for those working with victims of bullying and also lay the foundation for future research.
