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

Introduction: School bullying has become an important social problem among adolescents, it can influence the growth of individual, yet understanding of the impacts of school bullying is limited. The present study determined to investigate whether and how school bullying can influence adolescent social adaptation. Methods: Structural equation modeling was used to assess the hypothesized model. A sample of 434 Chinese adolescents (56.9% females), with an average age of 13.07 years (SD = 0.93), participated the survey. Results: The present study combined self-disclosure and school connectedness into a serial mediation model, highlighting the role of individual and environmental factors in the outcomes of school bullying. Discussion: These findings suggest that adolescents who engage in bullying are less likely to disclose personal information, which in turn hinders their sense of belonging at school, ultimately impairing their positive social adaptation. The results highlight the interplay between individual (self-disclosure) and environmental (school connectedness) factors in the outcomes of school bullying. Both limitations and implications are discussed in the end.
