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

objectiveTo explore the mediating effects of hope traits and psychological distress in the relationship between childhood abuse and suicidal ideation in college students.

methodsA total of 1908 college students were surveyed using the Childhood Abuse Questionnaire-Short Form (CTQ-SF), the Adult Dispositional Hope Scale, the SCL-90, and the Suicidal Ideation Self-Rating Scale. The data were screened, SPSS and R software were used to calculate descriptive statistics, and a structural equation model was constructed.

resultsChildhood abuse was significantly associated with higher levels of suicidal ideation. Childhood abuse indirectly affected suicidal ideation through hope traits and psychological distress, both individually and via chain mediation, with all indirect effects remaining significant after controlling for direct effects.

conclusionChildhood abuse can directly positively impact college students' suicidal ideation, and also indirectly affect it through the mediating effects of hope traits and psychological distress either individually or as a chain. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
