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: India has the largest adolescent population worldwide, and among this group, mental health issues account for 16% of the total global burden of disease and injury. Disturbingly, approximately half of these health conditions manifest before the age of 14 years. To assess the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress along with its correlates among the adolescents in the schools of Kamrup (Metro) district, Assam. Methods and Material: This cross-sectional study was conducted in 10 randomly selected high schools in the study area among the adolescents selected from 8 Results: The mean ± 2SD age of the adolescents was 14.74 ± 1.58 years. Among the adolescents, the overall prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress was found to be 22.2%, 24.4%, and 6.9%, respectively. Conclusions: The occurrence of mental health morbidities among adolescents is notably widespread, yet researchers have largely overlooked this aspect. This underscores the need for comprehensive investigations into the factors that contribute to these mental health issues.
