Factors affecting the prevalence of stress, anxiety, and depression in undergraduate Indian dental students.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
backgroundThe objective was to assess the prevalence and the associated demographic factors of stress, anxiety, and depression among undergraduate (UG) Indian dental students and determine whether the pattern is different in government-run institutions and those managed by private authorities. MATERIALS AND
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among dental UG students from five dental colleges. Snowball sampling was used to approach 776 potential participants, resulting in a complete response from 507 students. The questionnaire consisted of demographic data; year of study; type of college; accommodation; and Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS)-42. Descriptive data and inferential statistics were obtained. Chi-square test was applied for categorical data to test for significance, and higher analysis was done using multiple linear regression.
resultsFemales and males comprised 71.8% (
conclusionStress, anxiety, and depression are highly prevalent among Indian dental students. Clinical students and interns have a higher prevalence of stress than preclinical students. Age, being female, and staying in the hostel are positive predictors for the severity of stress. There is no significant difference between government and private colleges, regarding the prevalence of any psychological condition.
