Multidimensional factors of depressive symptoms among Chinese undergraduate students: a cross-sectional study using binary logistic regression.

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
Introduction: This cross-sectional study investigates the interplay of lifestyle, behavioral, and psychosocial factors in predicting depressive symptoms among Chinese college students (N=508) using binary logistic regression. Methods: Participants were recruited from four geographically diverse provinces (Eastern: Shandong; Western: Shaanxi, Sichuan; Southern: Hainan) across 8 universities (5 comprehensive universities, 3 specialized institutions), with balanced urban (n=245, 48.22%) and rural (n=263, 51.78%) representation. Standardized scales assessed depressive symptoms (PHQ-9), perceived stress (PSS), academic procrastination (PASS), physical activity (PARS-3), cyberbullying victimization (CVQ), and alcohol use (AUDIT). Results: Results revealed significant negative associations of sleep duration and physical activity with depressive symptoms (p<0.05), while academic procrastination, cyberbullying, perceived stress, and alcohol consumption showed significant positive predictive effects (p<0.01). Discussion: Despite limitations of convenience sampling and cross-sectional design, findings suggest a complex interplay of multidimensional factors in college students' mental health. Early screening and comprehensive interventions targeting lifestyle, behavioral, and psychosocial domains are recommended. Further longitudinal and experimental studies are warranted to elucidate causal pathways and inform targeted prevention strategies in university settings.
