Criteria for detection of possible risk factors for mental health problems in undergraduate university students.

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: Developing approaches for early detection of possible risk clusters for mental health problems among undergraduate university students is warranted to reduce the duration of untreated illness (DUI). However, little is known about indicators of need for care by others. Herein, we aimed to clarify the specific value of study engagement and lifestyle habit variables in predicting potentially high-risk cluster of mental health problems among undergraduate university students. Methods: This cross-sectional study used a web-based demographic questionnaire [the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale for Students (UWES-S-J)] as study engagement scale. Moreover, information regarding life habits such as sleep duration and meal frequency, along with mental health problems such as depression and fatigue were also collected. Students with both mental health problems were classified as high risk. Characteristics of students in the two groups were compared. Univariate logistic regression was performed to identify predictors of membership. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve was used to clarify the specific values that differentiated the groups in terms of significant predictors in univariate logistic analysis. Cut-off point was calculated using Youden index. Statistical significance was set at Results: A total of 1,644 students were assessed, and 30.1% were classified as high-risk for mental health problems. Significant differences were found between the two groups in terms of sex, age, study engagement, weekday sleep duration, and meal frequency. In the ROC curve, students who had lower study engagement with UWES-S-J score < 37.5 points (sensitivity, 81.5%; specificity, 38.0%), <6 h sleep duration on weekdays (sensitivity, 82.0%; specificity, 24.0%), and < 2.5 times of meals per day (sensitivity, 73.3%; specificity, 35.8%), were more likely to be classified into the high-risk group for mental health problems. Conclusion: Academic staff should detect students who meet these criteria at the earliest and provide mental health support to reduce DUI among undergraduate university students.
