Bidirectional Association Between Psychological Resilience and Depression in Early Adolescents: the Predictive Role of Childhood Maltreatment.
Article in Child psychiatry and human development, 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
Psychological resilience could buffer against depression in individuals with a history of childhood maltreatment (CM). However, longitudinal studies are required to establish the direction and temporal sequence of the association between CM, psychological resilience, and depression. The baseline sample included 1,608 seventh-grade students (54% boys) from the China Early Adolescent Cohort (CEAC) study, with an average age of 12.49 years (SD = 0.48). Assessments were conducted at three time points: September 2019, September 2020, and September 2021. Structural equation modeling was employed to investigate whether the bidirectional association between depression and resilience was identified in the context of CM. Childhood maltreatment, particularly emotional abuse, was a significant predictor of depression and resilience (β = 0.403, P < 0.001; β = -0.199, P < 0.001, respectively). A significant bidirectional cross-lagged effect between resilience and depression was identified, with the negative impact of depression on resilience being more persistent and stable over time. Furthermore, sex differences were observed; the bidirectional association was significant only among boys, while for girls, only the negative effect of depression on resilience was significant. These findings underscore the importance of interventions that simultaneously enhance resilience and reduce depressive symptoms, with tailored strategies to address sex-specific needs in mitigating the effects of CM on adolescent mental health.
