Article in Clinical child psychology and 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
BackgroundVery few studies have been conducted to explore psychological capital (combined hope, self-efficacy, resilience, and optimism known as PsyCap) and mental health among rural U.S. adolescents.PurposeThe purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between PsyCap and mental health using a health equity lens.MethodsA sample of 59 rural U.S. adolescents completed the survey packet. Descriptive and inferential statistics were conducted on the RStudio platform.FindingsPsyCap was significantly associated with wellbeing and anxiety. Non-binary adolescents reported significantly lower PsyCap. While the overall sample reported perceived rejection above the national norm, non-binary adolescents reported the highest levels.DiscussionPsychological capital theory served as a useful framework for exploring mental health among rural adolescents. More research needs to be conducted with large inclusive samples of rural adolescents who live on the margins. Examination of mental health services in rural settings should be considered.
