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

introductionAdolescents engage in non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) and social media more than any other age group. To understand the role of adolescents' subjective social media experiences in NSSI, this study examined the relationships between emotional responses to social media and NSSI urges and engagement.

methodsData were collected from two studies, which included a cross-sectional study (N = 408) and an 8-week intensive-longitudinal study (N = 80) with ecological momentary assessment (3 surveys/day).

resultsThe cross-sectional study revealed that positive responses to social media were associated with the presence of NSSI urges across all time points and frequency of NSSI engagement in the past year and lifetime. Negative responses to social media were associated with the presence of NSSI urges and engagement across all time points and frequency of NSSI engagement in the past week, month, and year. The intensive-longitudinal study revealed that positive responses to social media were not associated with daily NSSI urge intensity or presence of engagement, although negative responses to social media were associated with both daily NSSI urge intensity and presence of engagement. DISCUSSION: Interventions aiming to reduce adolescent NSSI may benefit from addressing ways to cope with negative social media experiences and promoting positive experiences.
