[Emotional distress in medical students in the context of university teaching on mental disorders].

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
backgroundNumerous studies have shown a high incidence and increase in stress-related symptoms and depression-like complaints among students. During teaching on mental disorders at our medical faculty, students repeatedly reported emotionally stressful situations and expressed a desire for support services. The aim of the present study was to objectify the level of stress and the need for such support services. MATERIAL AND
methodsA total of 118 students in the 9th semester (winter semester 2022/2023) were surveyed using a questionnaire on their emotional stress. The online questionnaire was conducted via LimeSurvey (LimeSurvey GmbH, Hamburg, Germany) and contained a total of 18 items formulated as statements as well as other items. The students rated the individual items on 11-point numerical scales with external anchor ratings.
resultsThe respondents rated their own stress as increased compared to other modules, particularly for the subject of psychiatry (> 5 out of 10). Bedside teaching was estimated as being the most stressful, followed by seminars and lectures (all pairwise comparisons p < 0.001). The contents on depression predominantly caused the most stress. Approximately half of the students would like to be offered support services and most frequently a consultation session (78.0%) and defined contact persons (70.7%).
conclusionThe emotional stress of students in the context of teaching on mental disorders is particularly high in psychiatry and higher with increasing patient contact; offers of support services are needed. Teachers should be sensitized to this and create offers such as open consultation sessions and the provision of defined contact persons.
