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 explore the mediating role of coping styles between academic self-efficacy and academic stress among middle school students and to provide insights into potential intervention strategies to alleviate academic stress. Methods: A total of 2,720 middle school students participated in the survey, which utilized the Academic Self-Efficacy Scale, Academic Pressure Scale, and Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire. The sample included 1,336 boys (49.1%) and 1,384 girls (50.9%), with ages ranging from 11 to 18 years and an average age of 14.48 ± 1.47 years. Results: Academic stress was negatively correlated with academic self-efficacy and positive coping style ( Conclusion: Academic self-efficacy has both direct and indirect effects on academic stress, with coping styles playing a critical mediating role. These findings suggest that fostering academic self-efficacy and encouraging positive coping strategies can effectively alleviate academic stress, providing insights for intervention programs aimed at promoting student wellbeing.
