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: Suicidal ideation is a key predictor of suicidal behavior, yet less is known about how interpersonal risk factors translate into suicidal ideation through both offline and online self-harm behaviors, and under what conditions these pathways may be buffered. Grounded in the Interpersonal-Psychological Theory of Suicide, this study examined the parallel mediating roles of non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) and digital self-harm in the association between perceived burdensomeness and suicidal ideation, as well as the moderating role of psychological capital. Methods: Using a cross-sectional design, data were collected from 2,167 Chinese college students (68.6% female; Results: Parallel mediation analyses showed that perceived burdensomeness was significantly associated with suicidal ideation both directly and indirectly through NSSI and digital self-harm. Moderated mediation analyses further revealed that psychological capital significantly moderated the association between digital self-harm and suicidal ideation, but not the association between NSSI and suicidal ideation. Specifically, digital self-harm was positively related to suicidal ideation only among individuals with low psychological capital. Conclusion: These findings highlight the dual behavioral pathways linking perceived burdensomeness to suicidal ideation and identify psychological capital as a context-specific protective factor that buffers suicide risk in digital self-harm contexts.
