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

Background: Medical students have become a group with a high prevalence of depression and are particularly vulnerable to it. Recognizing the factors affecting depression among medical students is crucial. This study was aimed at exploring the effects of perceived stress on medical students' depression under the mediating role of the rumination and the moderating role of the emotional intelligence. Methods: A survey was conducted with 648 medical students in XX Province, XX (blind review). Participants provided responses to measures of perceived stress, rumination, emotional intelligence, and depression. Data analysis was performed in SPSS version 26 and the SPSS PROCESS Macro. Results: The results revealed significant positive associations between perceived stress ( Conclusion: Rumination serves as a mediator in the relationship between perceived stress and depression, while emotional intelligence significantly moderates the impact of perceived stress on depression.
