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

objectiveTo analyze the distribution of manifestations of psychological distress in different social groups of undergraduates from health courses at the University of São Paulo.

methodA cross-sectional study was carried out with undergraduates from 11 health courses at the University of São Paulo. The non-probabilistic sample consisted of 108 students. Data was collected using an online form and analyzed using the SPSS 20.04 and STATA 17 statistical packages. The students were classified into three social groups using the Social Reproduction Index.

results188 students took part in the study, 77.4% female; 64.7% white; 69.7% lived in the city of São Paulo and only 4.8% of these lived in student housing. As for the Social Group (SG), 50.5% were classified as SGI, 26.1% as SGII and 23.4% as SGIII/GSIV. Most of the university respondents (77.7%) reported manifestations of psychological distress. The GSI students expressed a lower percentage of manifestations of psychological distress (62.1%) when compared to the other groups.

conclusionthere was a higher prevalence of psychological distress among undergraduates in the GSIII/GSIV groups. The study highlights the importance of implementing policies to deal with psychological distress among university students.
