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
Introduction: Suicide prevention research has increasingly emphasized protective factors in addition to risk factors. Reasons for living represent a protective construct in suicidology, reflecting beliefs and commitments that may discourage suicidal behavior. However, less is known about how self-rated functioning in family, social, and social-life domains is associated with reasons for living among young adults. Methods: An anonymous cross-sectional online survey using non-probability convenience sampling was conducted between March and June 2025 among 546 young adults aged 18-35 years in Poland. Reasons for living were assessed using the Polish adaptation of the Reasons for Living Inventory. Life satisfaction and general self-efficacy were measured using the Satisfaction With Life Scale and General Self-Efficacy Scale. Participants rated family, social, and social-life functioning on five-point scales. Hierarchical multiple linear regression examined associations with reasons for living after accounting for selected sociodemographic and family-related factors, life satisfaction, and general self-efficacy. Results: Reasons for living were positively correlated with life satisfaction, general self-efficacy, and self-rated functioning in all three domains. Selected sociodemographic and family-related variables explained 8.2% of the variance. Adding life satisfaction and general self-efficacy increased explained variance by 16.0%, and adding family, social, and social-life functioning contributed a further 1.4% ( Conclusion: In this convenience sample, reasons for living were cross-sectionally associated with psychological resources and family-related factors. The family-functioning association was sensitive to family-related RFL-48 content, whereas the parenthood association persisted after this content was excluded. Given the non-probability sampling strategy and predominance of women, the findings should not be interpreted as population estimates for Polish young adults. Causal interpretations require longitudinal research, and intervention-related implications require intervention studies.
