1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

While the future of college student mental health is leaning towards systemic-level integrated behavioral health care models, existing mental health support for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) students remains highly individual. The REDFLAGS Model is a mental health resource comprising an acronym of warning signs that suggest a college student might be struggling with mental distress. The aim of this study was to test the utility of The REDFLAGS Model, with a large sample of STEM students (
