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: Mental health values play a significant role in defining, promoting, and intervening in mental health. As part of an individual's value system, these values are inherently cultural. However, they remain underexplored in Chinese culture context, particularly among the large young adult population of university students. A culturally informed tool to assess mental health values is much needed to support China's efforts in promoting mental health among college students. Methods: Four steps were taken to complete the Chinese Mental Health Value Scale (CMHVS) development, namely, item pool construction including expert reviews, a pilot study for item revision and selection, data collection for explorative and confirmatory factor analyses, and validity testing. Results: A 35-item, seven-factor model was identified with high reliability (Cronbach's alpha of 0.96), and evidence for convergent validity. The seven factors were Conclusion: The CMHVS provides a culturally grounded method for assessing mental health values in Chinese university students. It has potential applications in research and clinical settings, improving culturally sensitive mental health promotion and intervention.
