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
Purpose: Mental health literacy is a crucial factor in promoting adolescent mental health. However, existing mental health literacy assessment tools may not fully capture the unique psychological developmental characteristics of Chinese junior high school students. This study developed a culturally adapted measurement tool for assessing mental health literacy among this population. Methods: This study involved three stages: (1) item pool construction using a literature review and expert evaluation procedure (n = 8), (2) item selection through item and exploratory factor analyses of the initial item pool (n = 510), and (3) psychometric indicator evaluation based on reliability and validity analyses. Results: The resulting Mental Health Literacy Questionnaire for Junior High School Students consists of 30 items across three dimensions: knowledge, attitude, and behavioral tendencies. Psychometric analysis demonstrated strong internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.93, KR20 = 0.90, McDonald's ω = 0.94, r of test-retest reliability = 0.88) and satisfactory content and construct validity. Conclusion: This culturally relevant and psychometrically sound instrument can be used to accurately assess and intervene in mental health literacy among Chinese junior high school students. The tool's development followed rigorous methodological standards; it can be a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners in the field of adolescent mental health.
