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

Objective: The transition of COVID-19 into the endemic phase in China has posed additional challenges to medical student's well-being, and increased the odds of mental distress. Although affective temperament traits and adult attachment styles accompany crisis-induced stress, whether this applies to medical students in the endemic phase has yet to be determined. The aim of present study is to test if temperament traits and adult attachment style can predict stress in Chinese medical students. Methods: Medical students ( Results: The participants showed significant distress as assessed with the K10: 19 (15-24) (median, Q1, Q3). Furthermore, a multiple linear regression analysis indicated that cyclothymic ( Conclusions: Dimensions of both affective temperaments and attachment styles were associated with stress in the medical students during the transition to the endemic phase. The investigations of these psychological variables provided new information regarding risk factors for endemic-related distress, and pointed to potential targets for counseling and developing programs to support the medical students' mental health.
