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: The transition to university is often accompanied by significant stress, which can adversely affect students' life satisfaction. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between perceived stress and life satisfaction among university students, with a focus on the mediating role of coping strategies and the moderating role of personality traits. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 520 university students (M = 21.5 years, SD = 2.3). Participants completed validated measures including the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), Brief COPE Inventory, and Big Five Inventory-2 (BFI-2). Data were analyzed using PROCESS macro regression modeling (Models 4 and 1). Results: Perceived stress showed a significant nonlinear (cubic) association with life satisfaction (R Discussion: These findings underscore the importance of cultivating adaptive coping mechanisms and tailoring stress management interventions to students' individual personality profiles. Such strategies may enhance students' well-being and academic success.
