Longitudinal Associations Between Victimization and Depressive Mood During the Junior High School Transition: A Latent Growth Model Analysis.
Article in Journal of youth and adolescence, 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
The transition to junior high school is a critical period for adolescent development and a high-risk period for peer victimization and depressive mood. However, the changes and associations between victimization and depressive mood during this stage have not been fully investigated. The present study adopted a short-term intensive longitudinal survey to explore their changes and links during the enrollment transition. A sample of 647 Chinese seventh-grade students (41.11% girls; Mage T1 = 12.71 years, SD = 0.59) participated monthly over four months. Latent growth model analysis showed that the level of victimization declined gradually and the level of depressive mood rose continuously during the transition period. Notably, students with higher initial victimization reported more severe initial depressive mood, while those whose victimization decreased more slowly showed steeper increases in depressive mood. These findings characterize how victimization and depressive mood co-develop during the junior high school transition and highlight victimization as an important source of psychosocial risk associated with depressive mood.
