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

backgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic is a global public health crisis. The quarantine measures for COVID-19 have caused harm to the mental health of college students, and it is of great significance to continue focusing on the impact of COVID-19 on mental health.

methodsThe data comes from the research group on the impact of COVID-19 on college students' mental health. A total of 2,033 Chinese college students participated in this study, including 1,285 female and 748 male students, with an average age of 19.81 years (SD = 1.22). Using the ordered logistic regression model, the study analyzed the mechanisms of academic stress, employment pressure, and sleep quality to investigate the impact of COVID-19 quarantine on college students' mental health.

resultsQuarantine due to the COVID-19 pandemic has a significant impact on college students' mental health. The impact of quarantine on college students' mental health is economically stratified, with lower family income students experiencing greater effects and higher family income students experiencing lesser effects. Academic stress, employment pressure, and sleep quality are important mechanisms through which quarantine affects college students' mental health.

conclusionThis study provides new insights into the relationship between quarantine and mental health among college students during the COVID-19 pandemic, helping to offer targeted interventions for college students' mental health.
