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

objectiveThe Present study explores students' mental health and empowerment, focusing on the mediating role of mental health awareness.

methodsUsing Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), the research investigates how parental education, parental behavior, self-esteem, self-management, and social media impact mental health through mental health awareness. Data from 350 university students were collected through an online survey.

resultsOur findings reveal that mental health awareness significantly influences mental health (β = 0.595, p < 0.001). Empowerment, particularly self-esteem (β = 0.212, p = 0.003) and self-management (β = 0.620, p < 0.001), plays a vital role in improving mental health through increased awareness. Parental behavior also emerged as a significant factor (β = 0.193, p < 0.001). However, the influence of parents' education and financial issues showed less significant effects.

conclusionThe study concludes that mental health awareness is central to improving mental health outcomes, while empowerment and parental behaviors are vital mediating factors. These findings contribute to the understanding of how youth mental health can be enhanced through both internal (empowerment) and external (parental influence) factors.
