Unraveling Non-Suicidal Self-Injury Functions Through Network Analysis and Revealing Their Triangular Relationship With Psychosocial Factors and Personality Traits.
Article in Brain and behavior, 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
backgroundNon-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) imposes a significant burden on adolescents, making it essential to understand its underlying functions to develop effective interventions. This study aims to investigate the NSSI functional network and clarify the "psychosocial factors-personality-behavior" chain to inform the development of interventions for NSSI.
methodsA total of 265 psychiatric inpatients aged 16-25 years with NSSI participated in this cross-sectional study. Network analysis was used to examine relationships among NSSI functions, and mediation analysis explored the pathways from psychosocial factors and personality to these functions.
resultsFive stable NSSI functional communities were identified, including internal emotion regulation (IER), psychological pain avoidance (PPA), social influence (SI), suicide resistance (SR), and sensation seeking (SS). The core function of IER exhibited the highest centrality. Psychosocial factors, including health adjustment (β
conclusionsInternal emotion regulation was the central driver among five functions of NSSI. Neuroticism played a key mediating role in the link between psychosocial factors and NSSI functions. Tailored interventions targeting emotion regulation are essential.
