Identity Statuses and Psychosocial Adjustment in Chinese Adolescents: A Latent Profile Analysis.
Article in Behavioral sciences (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Adolescence is a critical period for identity formation, a core developmental task that significantly influences psychosocial adjustment. Although person-centered studies based on Crocetti's three-factor model have identified distinct identity statuses across several cultural contexts, comparable evidence from Chinese adolescents remains limited. The current study aims to explore whether the three-factor model of identity could be found in a Chinese adolescent sample and to examine the relationship between identity statuses and psychosocial adjustment. A sample of 4666 adolescents (Mage = 18.37; 49.9% females) completed the Utrecht-Management of Identity Commitments Scale. Latent profile analysis revealed five distinct identity statuses: Searching Moratorium, Foreclosure, Avoidant, Undifferentiated, and Diffusion. These statuses differed significantly in levels of anxiety, subjective well-being, and resilience. Overall, identity statuses were significantly associated with psychosocial adjustment. Notably, adolescents in the Foreclosure status exhibited the most favorable psychosocial outcomes; however, this pattern may reflect an adaptive response to the Chinese educational context rather than indicating a more mature stage of identity development.
