Article in Child health nursing research, 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
purposeThis study is a descriptive survey examining the effects of stress, loneliness, and emotional dysregulation on adolescents' potential for drug use.
methodsData were collected through face-to-face surveys conducted between August 28 and September 11, 2023, with a sample of 118 second-year students from a middle school in South Korea. The survey questionnaire included items on general characteristics, substance-related characteristics, adolescent stress, loneliness, emotional dysregulation, and drug use potential.
resultsThe analysis revealed significant differences in drug use potential based on academic achievement, school satisfaction, family relationship satisfaction, economic status, smoking experience, and substance use history. Furthermore, drug use potential showed a significant positive correlation with stress, loneliness, and emotional dysregulation. The key predictors of drug use potential were loneliness in family relationships, emotional dysregulation, and school satisfaction with a total explanatory power of 33.8%.
conclusionTo prevent adolescent drug use potential, it is essential to develop and implement nursing intervention programs that reduce family-related loneliness, provide support for emotional regulation difficulties, and promote smoking prevention.
