1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionBullying victimization increases the risk of internalizing and externalizing symptoms, while adolescents with more internalizing and externalizing symptoms are more frequently bullied. However, the bidirectional associations between bullying victimization and internalizing and externalizing symptoms and the underlying mechanisms remain underexplored in adolescents. The present study aimed to examine the bidirectional associations between bullying victimization and internalizing and externalizing symptoms among adolescents, and the longitudinal mediating role of executive functions in these associations, distinguishing between-person and within-person effects.

methodsA final sample of 593 Chinese adolescents (274 females; M

resultsAfter accounting for between-person effects, bullying victimization positively predicted internalizing and externalizing symptoms, but internalizing and externalizing symptoms didn't predict bullying victimization across time points at the within-person level. In addition, executive functions at T2 played a longitudinal mediating role in the associations between bullying victimization at T1 and internalizing and externalizing symptoms at T3.

conclusionsThese findings suggest that bullying victimization consistently increases the risk for problem behaviors during early adolescence, and impaired executive functions could serve as a cognitive pathway under these associations.
