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

Objective: To understand the current situation of vocational college students' mental health, take depression as independent variable, and explore the mechanism of social support and mental toughness as mediating variables on vocational college students' career efficacy, so as to provide basis for effectively improving teenagers' career efficacy, promoting teenagers' mental health and future development. Methods: A total of 780 students in the first and second grades of high school in vocational schools were selected as the research objects by random cluster sampling. The questionnaire survey was conducted by the 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), Resilience Scale for Chinese Adolescents (RSCA), Social Support Rate Scale (SSRS) and career decision self-efficacy scale of secondary vocational students. Results: Depression was negatively correlated with occupational efficacy, mental toughness and social support ( Conclusion: Psychological resilience shows masking effect in the influence of depression on occupational efficacy, which is limited and influenced by personal cognition, and emphasizes the importance of emotional management. Social support plays an important role in reducing adolescent depression and improving adolescent occupational efficacy, and can effectively alleviate the adverse effects of depression on adolescent occupational efficacy. It is suggested that family, school and individual efforts should be made to strengthen the social support network, improve the psychological resilience of adolescents, and help improve their mental health level and professional efficacy.
