Maladaptive Perfectionism and Adolescent Nonsuicidal Self-Injury: A Longitudinal Moderated Mediation Model of Hopelessness and Self-Concept Clarity.

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
objectiveThe Benefits and Barriers Model of nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) suggests that individuals with maladaptive perfectionism may be prone to negative self-views when facing failure, which may be associated with lowered psychological barriers to NSSI. Based on this framework, the present three-wave longitudinal study examined whether hopelessness mediated the association between maladaptive perfectionism and later NSSI, and whether this indirect association varied as a function of self-concept clarity.
methodsA sample of 786 Chinese adolescents (51.8% girls; M
resultsAfter controlling for gender, age, baseline hopelessness, and baseline NSSI, baseline maladaptive perfectionism was indirectly associated with NSSI at the 12-month follow-up through hopelessness at the 6-month follow-up. The hopelessness-later NSSI association varied by self-concept clarity and was weaker among adolescents with higher self-concept clarity.
conclusionThese findings suggest that hopelessness may be relevant to understanding later NSSI among adolescents, and that self-concept clarity may help identify variability in the strength of the hopelessness-later NSSI association. Any prevention or intervention implications involving self-concept clarity should be considered tentative until future longitudinal, experimental, or intervention research determines whether changes in self-concept clarity precede changes in NSSI risk or produce downstream improvements in self-injury-related outcomes.
