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: Unemployment constitutes a significant social stressor that systematically impairs individuals' psychological adaptive capacity. It serves as an independent risk factor for mental health deterioration, significantly elevating the risks of depressive disorders, suicidal ideation, and related conditions. This study analyzes characteristics and mental health status of unemployed callers through psychological support hotline data, aiming to identify underlying psychological risk factors. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the general demographic data, primary concerns, and mental health status of unemployed callers to the Beijing Psychological Support Hotline from 2020 to 2023. Group comparisons were stratified by age and gender. Logistic regression models were used to identify factors associated with mental health outcomes. Results: The study included 9,002 call records from unemployed individuals, with 60.3% being female, 70.1% aged between 19 and 29, 73.2% unmarried, and 64.8% having no more than 15 years of education. Callers aged 19-29 years reported significantly higher proportions of non-familial interpersonal issues ( Conclusions: Unemployed callers who are female, aged 19-29 or unmarried/divorced exhibited higher levels of psychological distress and suicide risk. Notably, while callers with a history of psychiatric diagnoses reported lower levels of suicidal ideation, they demonstrated higher levels of hopelessness and depressive symptoms. These findings warrant attention, and hotline services should implement timely identification, psychological support, and targeted interventions to effectively alleviate psychological distress and reduce potential suicide risk in these high-risk groups.
