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

objectivesTo explore the values of materialism in medical postgraduates and its relationship with depression.

methodsWe conducted a survey among 592 postgraduates in clinical medicine using Materialism Tendency Scale (MTS) and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). Descriptive analysis, mean comparison, and correlation analysis were used for data analysis.

resultsThe postgraduates had a mean total score of materialism of 56.36±10.44, and 11.8%, 54.1%, and 34.1% of them reported high, medium, and low levels of materialism, respectively. No significant differences were found in the total score of materialism among the postgraduates of different genders or with different family economic levels, but the postgraduates from urban families had a significantly higher level of materialism than those from rural families (

conclusionsMaterialistic values may increase the risk of depression among medical postgraduates.
