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
Introduction: Suicide prevention research has predominantly focused on risk factors, while psychosocial resources that may serve as protective factors have received less attention. From the perspective of social determinants of health, examining such resources may contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of mental health. This study aimed to analyze the relationships between psychosocial competencies and reasons for living among young adults, taking into account selected socio-demographic and family factors. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between March and June 2025 among 546 young adults aged 18-35 in Poland. Reasons for living were assessed using the Reasons for Living Scale (RFL-48), including six subscales. Psychosocial competencies were evaluated across four domains: interpersonal skills, self-awareness, decision-making, and coping with stress. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses were performed, with socio-demographic and family variables entered in the first block and psychosocial competencies in the second. Results: Psychosocial competencies were significantly associated with reasons for living after controlling for socio-demographic and family factors. Self-awareness showed the strongest association with the overall reasons for living score and with survival and coping beliefs. Coping with stress was associated with survival and coping beliefs and with fear of suicide. Interpersonal skills and self-awareness were associated with fear of social disapproval, while self-awareness and decision-making were related to responsibility toward family. Conclusion: Psychosocial competencies are associated with various dimensions of reasons for living among young adults, partly independently of socio-demographic and family factors. These findings indicate that psychosocial competencies may be considered as relevant resources in the context of mental health and suicide prevention.
