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

Introduction: There has been relevant research on the effectiveness of craft creation practices (CCP) on the mental health of university students. However, little is known about the potential mechanisms affecting the network structure of mental health under the dual-factor model. Methods: This study employs moderated network analysis methods (MNM) to explore the reorganization of connections between various mental health indicators after craft creation practices. The study involved 353 university students from Anhui Province, who were randomly assigned to an intervention group ( Results: The results showed changes in the network structure of different mental health variables after the intervention. Unlike the control group participants, social well-being was negatively correlated with depression and stress. Conclusion: This study supports the feasibility of using network approaches to analyze the connections between mental health indicators defined by a two-factor model and the contribution of craft creation practices to altering the complex relationship patterns between positive and negative psychological dimensions.
