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

Objective: To examine the relationship between social appearance anxiety and aggressive behavior in children with dentofacial deformities, to investigate the mediating role of self-stigma and the moderating role of family support within this relationship, and to identify heterogeneous subgroups of social appearance anxiety and self-stigma through a person-centered approach. Methods: A cross-sectional survey design was employed. A total of 482 children diagnosed with dentofacial deformities were recruited from Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology between September 2025 and March 2026. Participants completed validated Chinese versions of the Social Appearance Anxiety Scale, the Self-Stigma subscale, the Family Support subscale, and the Aggression Scale. Results: Social appearance anxiety was significantly and positively associated with aggressive behavior ( Conclusion: These findings highlight the imperative of integrating psychological assessment and family-centered intervention into the clinical care of children with dentofacial deformities.
