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

backgroundTo investigate multidimensional impulsivity and its neuroelectrophysiological correlates in adolescents with depression and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI).

methodsA case-control study was conducted including three groups: depressed adolescents with non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI group), depressed adolescents without NSSI (non-NSSI group), and healthy controls (HCs group). The Ottawa Self-Injury Questionnaire was administered to assess NSSI behaviors in depressed participants and to quantify NSSI severity within the NSSI group. Impulsivity was evaluated using a multimodal approach, including the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale-11 (BIS-11), a go/no-go task, and event-related potentials (ERPs), with particular focus on the N2 and P3 components.

resultsBoth depressed groups exhibited significantly higher BIS-11 total and subscale scores than HCs, particularly in motor impulsivity (p < 0.05). A significant overall group difference was observed in go trials accuracy among the three groups (p = 0.009). Post hoc analyses with Bonferroni correction showed that the NSSI group had significantly lower go-trial accuracy than the HCs group (p_Bonf < 0.05), whereas no significant differences were observed between the NSSI and non-NSSI groups (p_Bonf > 0.05) or between the non-NSSI and HCs groups (p_Bonf > 0.05). No significant group differences were found in N2 or P3 latency or amplitude across the three groups (all p > 0.05). Correlation analyses revealed that NSSI severity over the past 1, 6, and 12 months was positively correlated with BIS-11 total and motor impulsivity scores (r = 0.198-0.417, all p < 0.001) and negatively correlated with go-task accuracy (r =  - 0.248 to - 0.193, all p < 0.001).

conclusionDepressed adolescents with NSSI exhibited elevated self-reported impulsivity and impaired behavioral inhibitory control, both of which were associated with NSSI severity, whereas no significant neurophysiological differences were observed between depressed adolescents with NSSI and HCs.
