Confirmatory Person-Oriented Mediation Analysis in Categorical Variables-Options and Limitations.
Article in Integrative psychological & behavioral science, 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
In this article, we propose three new approaches to analyzing person-oriented mediation hypotheses. First, we propose using relevance logic instead of classical logic. Relevance logic (1) rejects the ex falso sequitur quodlibet ("from a falsehood anything follows") rule and (2) requires that the premise and the outcome of an implication exhibit variable sharing, that is, possess a substantive link. Propositions are declared irrelevant when the premise is false, when there is no substantive link, or both. Second, we discuss, based on relevance logic, alternative concepts of mediation. Specifically, we discuss that mediation can be based on conjunctive as well as on implicative relations. In contrast to conjunctive mediation models, implicative mediation models do allow one to distinguish between full and partial mediation. Third, we propose using confirmatory Configural Frequency Analysis to test hypotheses of full or partial mediation. This is illustrated using data on adolescent development.
