The effect of core nodes of geographical identity on psychological stress in network analysis.
Article in BMC psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundPrevious research indicates that geographical identity influences psychological stress. However, there is a paucity of explanations for this relationship that considers a diverse range of influencing factors. As a critical component of higher education, university students are exposed to increasing competition and various pressures, which contribute to the widespread issue of psychological stress. Psychological stress is shaped by multiple factors, including geographical identity, interpersonal relationships, and adaptability. Examining the relationship between geographical identity and psychological stress, as well as identifying the core nodes of both, may provide valuable insights into the development of targeted strategies for mitigating psychological stress among university students.
methodsThis cross-sectional study utilized online surveys to collect data from 1,145 volunteer university students in China. Structural equation modeling and network analysis techniques were employed to analyze the data.
resultsGeographical identity was found to significantly predict psychological stress (p < 0.05), with adaptability acting as a mediating factor (p < 0.05), and interpersonal relationships serving as a moderating factor (p < 0.05). Interpersonal relationships moderated the relationship between geographical identity and adaptability, weakening the impact of geographical identity on adaptability. Conversely, interpersonal relationships enhanced the effect of adaptability on psychological stress. Additionally, the study found that the core nodes of psychological stress were associated with geographical characteristics (item 17). Notably, there were significant differences in core nodes across academic years and gender groups.
conclusionsStrengthening geographical identity and adaptability at the individual level can help alleviate psychological stress, while reducing interpersonal issues in the environmental context may further mitigate stress. Furthermore, university students of different genders and academic years may require tailored approaches for managing psychological stress.
