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

Objective To examine how emotionally controlling behavior (ECB), adolescent dating violence (ADV), and bullying influence anxiety among LGBTQ+ and heterosexual-cisgender adolescents in Vermont. Methods A cross-sectional analysis of the 2021 Vermont Youth Behavioral Risk Survey (YRBS) was conducted among dating students (N=9007). Variables included sexual/gender identity, anxiety, ECB, physical dating violence, and bullying. Descriptive statistics and stratified binomial logistic regression were used, adjusting for demographics. Results Anxiety was reported by 68.7% of LGBTQ+ versus 30.2% of heterosexual-cisgender youth (p< 0.001). ECB and bullying significantly increased anxiety in both groups. For LGBTQ+ youth, ECB raised Odds (1-3 times, OR=2.1; 4+ times, OR=3.5), as did bullying (OR=2.1). Heterosexual-cisgender youth showed stronger associations (ECB Odds: 1-3 times OR=2.3, 4+ times OR=5.4; bullying OR=2.8). Physical dating violence was associated with anxiety for heterosexual-cisgender (OR: 1.4) but not LGBTQ+ youth (OR: 1.1). Conclusions ECB and bullying are strongly associated with anxiety, underscoring the need for targeted interventions addressing emotional abuse and bullying.
