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

This study aimed to explore the relationship between rejection sensitivity and suicidal ideation among college students and to examine the chain-mediated role of social connectedness and negative affect in this association. Using a cross-sectional survey design, 1152 college students (43.75% female, 56.25% male) were recruited through stratified cluster convenience sampling and completed measures assessing rejection sensitivity, social connectedness, negative affect, and suicidal ideation. Bivariate correlations were examined, and mediation analyses were conducted to test whether social connectedness and negative affect independently and sequentially mediated the association between rejection sensitivity and suicidal ideation. Rejection sensitivity was positively associated with negative affect and suicidal ideation, and negatively associated with social connectedness. Social connectedness and negative affect each independently mediated the relationship between rejection sensitivity and suicidal ideation, and they also functioned as chain mediators in this relationship. Overall, rejection sensitivity was both directly and indirectly associated with suicidal ideation through the chain-mediated effects of social connectedness and negative affect.
