Gender-specific temporal dynamics of depressive symptoms and emotional resilience in adolescents: a cross-lagged network and simulation-based intervention study.
Article in Child and adolescent psychiatry and mental health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundAdolescent depression involves dynamic interactions between depressive symptoms and emotional resilience, with potential gender differences.
methodsA total of 818 adolescents completed the CDI-S and AERQ at two time points. Cross-lagged panel networks were estimated separately for males and females, and node centrality was assessed using in- and out-expected influence indices. Simulation-based interventions identified nodes with the greatest impact on overall symptom activation.
resultsIn males, sadness showed the largest autoregressive effect, self-deprecation showed the highest out-expected influence, and feeling upset when misunderstood showed the highest in-expected influence. In females, feeling unloved showed the largest autoregressive effect, sadness showed the highest out-expected influence, and feeling upset after criticism the highest in-expected influence. Simulation results indicated that enhancing positive emotion generation alleviated symptoms, whereas sleep- and interpersonal-related dysregulation increased network activation.
conclusionsEmotional resilience-depression dynamics differed by gender, with males showing cognitive-evaluative propagation and females emotion-driven interpersonal sensitivity. Targeted, gender-sensitive interventions focused on positive emotion generation and interpersonal recovery may help reduce depressive symptoms in adolescents.
