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

Callous-unemotional traits are a risk factor for low prosocial behaviors and high bullying behaviors in adolescence. Although the interplay between adolescents' callous-unemotional traits and their prosocial and bullying behaviors is theoretically expected, previous empirical studies have relied heavily on cross-sectional and between-person analyses, limiting the understanding of the within-person bidirectional associations between these constructs. Moreover, the underlying mediating mechanism between adolescents' callous-unemotional traits and their prosocial and bullying behaviors remains unclear. To address these gaps, the current study investigated the within-person bidirectional associations among callous-unemotional traits, moral disengagement, prosocial behaviors, and bullying behaviors, and examined the mediating role of moral disengagement, using the random intercept cross-lagged panel model. A total of 2,407 Chinese adolescents (50.23% girls, M
