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 adopts a person-centered approach to examine how profiles of relationships with parents, teacher recognition, and peer relationships conjoin and influence the academic and psychological wellbeing of Chinese migrant adolescents. Drawing upon two-wave data from a nationally representative survey (N = 820; ages 12 to 16), three distinct profiles were identified: Optimally Connected (strong bonds across parents, teachers, and peers), School Risk (strong family ties but low teacher recognition and poor peer relationships), and Family Neutral (weaker family relationships but better school-based ties than the School Risk group). Profile comparisons indicated that adolescents in the two risk profiles had significantly lower psychological wellbeing and educational outcomes compared to Optimally Connected adolescents. Furthermore, the stability of the School Risk Profile was low (11%), with over 90% of adolescents transitioning to other profiles within a year. Other profiles were more stable (60% for the Family Neutral Profile and 78% for the Optimally Connected Profile), but the size of the Family Neutral Profile increased over time.
