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

Previous research on the mediating role of the quality of social relationships between material deprivation and adolescent health has predominantly utilized samples from mainstream populations to examine mental health outcomes, neglecting the critical need to explore behavioral health outcomes, such as substance use, particularly in socioeconomically disadvantaged adolescents. Using structural equation modeling with data from 1329 Taiwanese adolescents living in poverty and receiving social assistance, the study found that the quality of social relationships with family members, teachers, and peers significantly mediated the association between material deprivation and substance use. The family-adolescent relationship quality significantly mediated the association between material deprivation and psychological distress, while the quality of peer and teacher-student relationships did not. The mediating mechanisms of social relationships are similar across different age subgroups and sexes. This study informs practices addressing psychological distress and substance use issues via family and relational pathways.
