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: Family intimacy-a core facet of family functioning-has been posited to protect college students from negative emotions, yet the mechanisms remain insufficiently specified. This study tested whether social support and psychological resilience independently and sequentially mediate the association between family intimacy and negative emotions. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was administered to college students across 33 provincial-level regions in China (3,589 questionnaires distributed; 3,010 valid; response rate = 83.87%; 37.9% male; age 19-29, M = 20.16, SD = 2.22). Measures included the Family Environment Scale-Chinese Version (family intimacy factor), DASS-21 (negative emotions), the Social Support dimension of the SRHMS, and the CD-RISC-10 (resilience). Internal consistency was acceptable ( Results: All key variables were correlated in the expected directions. Family intimacy negatively predicted negative emotions ( Discussion: Family intimacy is associated with fewer negative emotions among college students both directly and indirectly through enhanced social support and resilience. These findings underscore the value of family-focused and campus-based strategies that strengthen family communication and support systems to cultivate resilience and mitigate negative emotional states.
