Subthreshold anxiety in Chinese college students: prevalence, gender differences, and correlates.
Article in BMC psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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 aim of the study is to analyze the prevalence of subthreshold anxiety(SA) among Chinese college students and the correlates of SA. The data was from the 2022 Psychology and Behavior Investigation of Chinese Residents. Stepwise logistic regression was employed to discern the correlates of SA. This study found a prevalence rate of 36.4% for SA among college students. Differences in risk factors for SA were observed among students of different genders. Majoring in social science, high conscientiousness, neuroticism and depression may be risk factors for SA among Chinese college students. Good family health and high health literacy may be protective factors for SA. The correlates of SA among Chinese college students of different genders differed to a certain extent. The findings highlight a need for increased focus on the mental well-being of college students, which is essential to identify, diagnose, and treat SA in college student.
