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
Background: Psychological resources such as resilience, sense of coherence (SOC), optimism, self-efficacy, and locus of control are central to adaptive functioning and mental health. However, their developmental antecedents and interrelations remain insufficiently understood. Methods: Using longitudinal data from a population-based cohort, this study examined a) associations between psychological resources and psychopathology in young adulthood (18-19 years), and b) early predictors of these resources, including psychopathology, social competences, maternal psychopathology, and bonding. An exploratory factor analysis was conducted to test the structure of psychological resources. Results: Higher levels of resilience, SOC, optimism, and self-efficacy were associated with lower psychopathology symptoms in young adulthood, even after controlling for early risk factors. SOC emerged as the strongest unique predictor, indicating a central integrative role. Exploratory factor analysis supported a dominant general psychological resource dimension. Psychopathology predicted lower psychological resources, whereas maternal factors showed limited and inconsistent direct effects. Conclusions: Psychological resources are closely intertwined with mental health in young adulthood, with SOC appearing as a particularly central component. These findings underscore the relevance of psychological resources for understanding individual differences in mental health and suggest their potential value as targets for future longitudinal and intervention-based research.
