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

This study explored how distinct profiles of harsh parenting are associated with non-suicidal self-injury and whether parental alienation and core self-evaluation statistically explain these associations in a serial pathway. A total of 5,742 college students were recruited through convenience sampling at three waves with three-month intervals. To capture heterogeneity and probe potential mechanisms, we applied latent profile analysis and profile-specific serial mediation analysis. Three parenting profiles were identified: consistently high harsh parenting (Class 1), medium harsh parenting (Class 2), and low harsh parenting (Class 3). Across all profiles, harsh parenting showed indirect associations with non-suicidal self-injury via parental alienation and core self-evaluation, though the magnitude and specific indirect pathways differed by profile. These findings may inform tailored intervention efforts by identifying profile-specific risk patterns linked to non-suicidal self-injury among young adults.
