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

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the associations among emotional neglect (EN), stress-is-enhancing mindset (SIEM), stress-is-debilitating mindset (SIDM), and positive mental health (PMH). Methods: The cross-sectional survey was employed in this study. A sample of 2150 college students (826 males) completed the emotional neglect subscale of the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire Short Form, the Stress Mindset Measure and the Positive Mental Health Scale. The PROCESS macro version 4.2 for SPSS was used to examine the moderated mediation model. Results: EN negatively predicted PMH ( Conclusion: EN has a direct negative link to PMH and an indirect negative link to PMH through SIEM. Importantly, high SIDM mitigates the direct negative relation between EN and PMH. Moreover, the indirect negative effects of EN on PMH via SIEM diminish as SIDM increases, and the mediation pathway of SIEM is neutralized under high SIDM. These findings preliminary reveal the interplay between SIEM and SIDM in post-traumatic cognitive processing, offering new insights into the non-linear processes of psychological adaptation following early adversity.
