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
Objective: This study investigates the prevalence and influencing factors of mental health problems among vocational high school students in Henan Province, China, with varying levels of internet addiction. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted between June and August 2018, involving 3,051 vocational high school students selected through stratified cluster sampling. Data were collected using demographic questionnaires, the Internet Addiction Test, and the Mental Health Inventory for Middle-School Students. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were applied to identify influencing factors. Results: The prevalence of mental health problems was 59% (95% CI: 57-61%). Among average, problematic, and addictive internet users, prevalence rates were 65% (95% CI: 63-67%), 54% (95% CI: 51-57%), and 34% (95% CI, 28-40%), respectively. Across the overall population and subgroups, physical illness, chronic constipation, and loneliness were consistently associated with higher mental health risks ( Conclusion: Mental health issues among vocational high school students, particularly those with internet addiction, are prevalent and severe. Early interventions targeting key risk factors are critical to improving mental health outcomes in this population.
