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
Social support from parents, teachers, and peers has been linked to adolescent cognitive development, but these associations may vary across individuals. This study examined whether longitudinal links between multi-source social support and cognitive ability differ across Chinese early adolescents with distinct personality-related profiles. Using two-wave data from the China Education Panel Survey (CEPS; N = 6415 seventh graders), we conducted latent profile analysis and identified four heuristic personality-related profiles: resilient, undercontrolled, reserved, and overcontrolled. Multi-group cross-lagged panel models showed significant subgroup heterogeneity in the overall regression structure. In the undercontrolled, reserved, and overcontrolled subgroups, peer support was the only support source prospectively associated with later cognitive ability, whereas parental support showed a unique prospective association with later cognitive ability in the resilient subgroup. Positive reverse paths from cognitive ability to later support appeared only in the resilient and reserved subgroups; in the overcontrolled subgroup, a small negative path from cognitive ability to perceived teacher support was observed instead. Interconnections among parental, teacher, and peer support also varied descriptively across subgroups. Although the cross-lagged coefficients were modest, these findings suggest structured heterogeneity in longitudinal links between social support and cognitive ability that may be obscured in aggregate models.
