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
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on adolescents of all ethnic groups in China, with most studies focusing on Han Chinese adolescents. This study assesses the anxiety status of 426 high school students aged 15-18 from the Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture of Western Hunan, a minority concentration area, 3 years after the pandemic began, and explores its influencing factors. Using a cross-sectional survey design, data were collected via questionnaires covering anxiety, parental migration, parental education level, and individual general self-efficacy. Descriptive statistics, t-tests, correlation analysis, and linear regression were used for data analysis. The results revealed that: (1) the prevalence rate of anxiety symptoms among the surveyed subjects was 60.4%, with moderate anxiety accounting for 16.4% and severe anxiety for 5.3%; (2) female students scored significantly higher in anxiety than male students; (3) left-behind children exhibited significantly higher levels of anxiety symptoms compared to non-left-behind children; and (4) correlation and regression analyses indicated that gender, being a left-behind child, and general self-efficacy can effectively predict anxiety status. These findings demonstrate that 3 years after the outbreak of the pandemic, the anxiety status of high school students in the minority concentration areas of Western Hunan remains relatively severe, with females, left-behind children, and individuals with low self-efficacy being at higher risk. The study provides a deeper understanding of the psychological conditions of minority adolescents in Western Hunan and offers scientific evidence for the development of targeted mental health intervention measures.
