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: Secondary school students are in a relatively sensitive adolescent period, which is critical for mental development. The present study aimed to examine the mental health status and associated factors in secondary school students. Methods: Secondary school students were enrolled from all the five secondary schools in Shunde District, Guangdong. The Mental Health Inventory of Middle School Students (MMHI-60), School Refusal Behavior Evaluation Scale (SRBES), School Refusal Assessment Scale for Children (SRAS-C), Revised Chinese Internet Addiction Scale (CIAS-R), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Adolescent Suicide Tendency Scale (ASTS), Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), and Self-esteem scale (SES) were used to assess mental health problems and determine associated factors in secondary school students. Results: A total of 8,013 secondary school students were included. The prevalence of abnormal mental health was 22.4% by MMHI-60, 19.7% by SRBES, 5.4% by CIAS-R and 20.3% by ASTS, respectively. The scores of CD-RISC and SES were positively correlated with each other, and negatively correlated with the scores of SRBES, CIAS, PSQI, ASTS, and MMHI-60 ( Conclusion: Our study demonstrated the mental health problems in secondary school students and associated factors, which are essential for developing targeted interventions and policies to support the mental well-being of this vulnerable population.
