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
Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate and compare the mental health status of personnel stationed at high- and low-altitude bases to provide a reference for future targeted mental health education and support initiatives. Methods: A total of 1,244 personnel posted in both high- and low-altitude bases were randomly selected using a cluster sampling method. Basic details were collected using a demographic information questionnaire, and their mental health status was assessed using the Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90). Statistical analyses included t-tests and Mann-Whitney Results: The mental health status of personnel included in this study surpassed the national average for China, with personnel stationed at high-altitude bases reporting better overall mental health than those stationed at low-altitude bases. Among personnel with similar educational backgrounds, those stationed at low-altitude bases had higher levels of interpersonal sensitivity, phobic anxiety, and depressive symptoms than their counterparts stationed at high-altitude bases. Over time in service, the primary psychological issues they experienced shifted from anxiety and paranoia to interpersonal sensitivity, obsessive compulsive disorder, and depression. Additionally, those stationed at low bases with lower incomes reported higher levels of phobic symptoms compared to personnel stationed at high-altitude bases. Conclusion: In this study, we found that the psychological status of personnel stationed at high- and low-altitude bases was primarily influenced by factors such as income, level of education, years of military service, and geographical location. Measures such as enhancing income and welfare benefits as appropriate, improving education levels by advancing educational opportunities, and providing more mental health education and training may effectively reduce psychological stress and contribute to building a resilient and psychologically healthy military force.
