Psychosocial predictors of persistent non-suicidal self-injury in adolescents with major depressive disorder: a longitudinal study.

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
backgroundMajor depressive disorder (MDD) is a common mental illness during adolescence, with non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) as a characteristic manifestation of adolescents with MDD. Research has shown that persistent NSSI has a more significant impact on the prognosis of MDD that begins during adolescence. This study aimed to explore the psychosocial predictors of persistent NSSI.
methodsA total of 206 adolescents with MDD were finally included in the statistical analysis. Patients were assessed for NSSI at baseline and one year after enrollment. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify influencing factors for persistent NSSI. The predictive performance of the models was assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.
resultsAmong adolescents with MDD who engage in NSSI, the 1-year prevalence rate of persistent NSSI was 32.23%. The Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS) score was essential for predicting persistent NSSI (OR 1.098, 95% CI 1.017-85, P = 0.016). Age (OR 0.620, 95% CI 0.415-0.925, P = 0.019) can also be used to predict the occurrence of persistent NSSI. The combined predictive value of TAS score and age for persistent NSSI was higher, with an AUC of 0.792 (95% CI 0.685-0.899, P < 0.001).
conclusionThis study found that Chinese adolescents with MDD who engage in NSSI are at increased risk for persistent NSSI. Specifically, age and alexithymia are predictive of its occurrence. In clinical practice, healthcare professionals should pay particular attention to younger adolescents with MDD who engage in NSSI and screen them for alexithymia, in order to implement early intervention and prevent persistent NSSI.
