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

Importance: As interpersonal mindfulness is a relatively recently developed concept, there is limited research on how it relates to school-age bullying perpetration/victimization (BP/BV). Objective: To assess the direct and indirect effects of interpersonal mindfulness on school-age BP and victimization while focusing on the mediating role of emotional intelligence. Methods: Our study utilized a cross-sectional design between May and September 2024, and recruited 451 adolescents in schools aged between 12 and 18 years. Applying the snowball technique, a questionnaire was sent via Google Forms to the principal of each school, who redirected the questionnaire to the students after obtaining consent from their parents. Results: Emotional intelligence mediated the associations between interpersonal mindfulness and BV and BP. Higher interpersonal mindfulness was significantly associated with higher emotional intelligence. Higher emotional intelligence was significantly associated with lower BV and BP ( Interpretation: Our results underscore the importance of promoting emotional intelligence as a core intermediate factor linking interpersonal mindfulness to bullying. Given that emotional intelligence can be regarded as a skill that can be trained, our findings can offer a potential target for prevention and intervention.
