Rumination and depression in Chinese college students: the roles of loneliness and gender.
Article in BMC psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundDepression is a pervasive public health problem among college students. Rumination has been increasingly recognized as a risk factor, but little is known about the mediating role underlying the relation between rumination and depression. The current study examined the mediating role of loneliness and the moderating role of gender.
methodsThe survey was conducted in May 2018. 814 Chinese college students (363 males, 451 females, mean age = 20.75, SD = 0.90) completed three questionnaires regarding rumination, loneliness, and depression.
resultsThe results showed that rumination was significantly associated with depression. This relationship was partially mediated by loneliness. Furthermore, the direct effect was moderated by gender. The relationship between rumination and depression was stronger for male students relative to the females.
conclusionThese findings deepen our understanding of the mediating role underlying the relationship between rumination and depression. In addition, these findings encourage to design psychological interventions to reduce the level of depression.
