Psychometric Properties of the COVID-19 Stress Scale in College Students.
Article in Behavioral sciences (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Many experienced isolation and restricted behaviors due to the rapid onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Investigations related to the psychological factors such as stress along with the danger of spread and contamination are scarce. The COVID-19 stress scale (CSS) was developed in order to evaluate such stress and anxiety related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The current study investigated the psychometric properties of the CSS, using a survey to provide evidence towards its continued use as a scientifically sound measuring instrument for future acute health crises in a sample of 615 college students (78.80% female, 18.60% male, 1.30% trans male, 1.00% non-binary), with a mean age of 19.10 years. The study partially supported the original measure's factor structure. The main modification suggests a five-factor structure and removal of items related to less frequently used methods of banking and postal mail. The authors provide suggestions for future validation directions, use of the CSS and development of stress response strategies for students.
