Exploring the transmission mechanism of self discrepancy on perceived academic stress-based on the methods of posting grades ranking.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Academic stress is one of the most significant factors affecting adolescents' mental health. Various methods of posting grades ranking may lead to students to perceive different levels of psychological stress, which in turn impacts the development of their mental health. Using Propensity Score Matching and Ordered Probit methods with educational quality monitoring data of 5405 eighth-grade students from 39 schools in District F, this paper examines the impact of posting grades ranking on students' perceived academic stress in mathematics. It also explores the potential mechanisms and heterogeneous results of this impact, and concludes that: first, self-discrepancy induced by differences on posting grades ranking methods increases students' perceived academic stress, with a higher degree of self- discrepancy leads to greater academic stress to some extent; second, academic stress induced by differences on posting grades ranking methods has a significant impact only on female students, county and rural students, and medium performance group students; third, self-discrepancy contributes to academic stress through the mediating pathway of academic emotions. This study can offer practical insights for recommendations for the implementation of the "Double-Reduction" policy.
