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: This study aimed to explore the mechanism by which school bullying among middle school students influences negative emotions and to test a moderated mediation model. Methods: An anonymous cross-sectional survey employed a convenience sampling method among secondary school students in Anhui Province, eastern China, conducted from October to December 2023. Data were collected using a sociodemographic information questionnaire, the Core Self-Evaluation Scale (CSES), the Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21), and the Secondary School Students' Interpersonal Relationships Questionnaire. Statistical analysis was performed using AMOS 24.0 and SPSS 25.0. Results: A total of 1,340 middle school students participated in this study. According to a simple mediation analysis based on Model 4, core self-evaluation partially mediated the relationships between school bullying and depression, anxiety, and stress, with indirect effect sizes of 0.32, 0.31, and 0.31, respectively, accounting for 37.67%, 34.07%, and 36.47% of the total effect. A moderated mediation analysis based on Model 14 further indicated that interpersonal relationships significantly moderated the relationship between core self-evaluation and depression, anxiety, and stress (interaction terms β = 0.11-0.22, Conclusion: This study found that core self-evaluation partially mediated the relationship between school bullying and depression, anxiety, and stress; interpersonal relationships significantly moderated this mediating pathway. These findings provide empirical evidence for understanding the mechanisms through which school bullying affects the negative emotions of middle school students and for implementing targeted interventions.
