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
Background: Anxiety and depression are increasingly prevalent among nursing students. Mental Health Literacy (MHL) has been regarded as a potential protective factor for mental health. However, the relationship between MHL, resilience, anxiety/depression and well-being among nursing students is still understudied. Objective: This study aimed to explore the relationship between MHL and anxiety, depression and well-being, as well as the mediating role of resilience among nursing students. Methods: We adopted a cross-sectional online questionnaire approach using the "Questionnaire Star" platform. The Mental Health Literacy Questionnaire-short Version for Adults (MHLq-SVa), Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale-10 (CD-RISC-10), The World Health Organization-Five Well-Being Index (WHO-5), Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) were used to measure the MHL, resilience, well-being and anxiety/depression. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis and mediation effect analysis were conducted. Results: The prevalence of anxiety and depression among nursing students were 39.4% and 9.3% respectively. MHL was negatively correlated with anxiety (r = -0.19, p < 0.001) and depression (r = -0.20, p < 0.001). MHL was positively correlated with resilience (r = 0.43, p < 0.001) and well-being (r = 0.06, p < 0.001). Resilience partially mediated the relationship between MHL and anxiety (indirect effect = -0.040; 95%CI: -0.053 to -0.030), the relationship between MHL and depression (indirect effect = -0.057; 95%CI: -0.073 to -0.040), and the relationship between MHL and well-being (indirect effect = 0.203; 95%CI: 0.177 to 0.228). Conclusion: Higher MHL levels among nursing students is associated with stronger resilience, further associated with lower levels of anxiety/depression and higher levels of well-being. Our findings provide important guidance for educational administrators and helps them formulate targeted strategies to prevent anxiety/depression among nursing students.
