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

This study investigated the stress-buffering effect of social support on psychological well-being and impact of demographic factors on stress in a sample of farmers. One-hundred and ninety-six farmers completed an online questionnaire including measures of social support, stress, psychological well-being, and demographics. Overall, after controlling for stress, increased social support was associated with higher psychological well-being. Family support had a significant relationship with financial and farm-related factors of stress but not with psychological well-being, while friend and significant other support had a much greater impact on psychological well-being than family support. Membership of a farming organisation was found to be protective against social stress while working on one type of farm only (e.g., dairy) was protective against financial stress. The findings highlight the potential utility of the stress-buffering model in understanding stress among farmers. Future interventions which facilitate social support, reduce stress, and boost psychological well-being among farmers are needed.
