Profiles of childhood maltreatment and peer victimization: associations with pathological internet use in Chinese left-behind children.
Article in Frontiers in 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
Introduction: Pathological Internet use is relatively common among adolescents, yet few studies have concurrently examined the influence of family-level and peer-related risk factors. This study aimed to use latent profile analysis to identify patterns of childhood maltreatment and peer victimization and to explore their associations with pathological Internet use. Method: In this cross-sectional study, 1,205 Chinese adolescents ( Result: Latent profile analysis revealed three classes of childhood maltreatment and peer victimization: the low-risk group (80.83%), the severe peer victimization profile (11.86%), the severe childhood maltreatment with elevated peer victimization profile (7.31%). Compared with adolescents in the low-risk and severe peer victimization profiles, boys and left-behind children with migrant mothers were more likely to belong to the severe childhood maltreatment with elevated peer victimization profile. Moreover, adolescents in the severe childhood maltreatment with elevated peer victimization profile reported significantly higher negative outcomes of pathological Internet use than those in the low-risk profile. Conclusion: These findings underscore the value of jointly considering childhood maltreatment and peer victimization when identifying latent risk profiles, highlight the importance of differentiating specific left-behind family arrangements, and demonstrate the utility of examining distinct dimensions of pathological Internet use in capturing vulnerability to adverse outcomes.
