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

Background: Positive mental health (PMH) is the presence of emotional, social, and psychological well-being. Objective: To determine the level of positive mental health and associated factors among nursing students in a public university in Sri Lanka. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 185 nursing students. Data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire. Students were categorized as Flourished, Moderate and Languished. Results: Out of 185 students 170 responded. Mean age was 23.5 years (SD = 1.3). Of them 25.3% flourished and 32.7% languished. Students who engaged in leisure activities and social activities were more flourished whereas students who have diagnosed with chronic illness/es, mental illness/es and had any family member/s suffering with a severe illness/es were more languished. Conclusion: Involvement in leisure activities, social activities, status of physical and mental health and family member health status were associated with the level of positive mental health.
