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

Objectives: Academic stress and depressive symptoms are major mental health concerns among adolescents globally and in India. However, limited research has examined their association in Manipur, a northeastern state of India. This study assessed the prevalence of academic stress and depressive symptoms, their association, and group differences by sociodemographic variables among school-going adolescents in Manipur. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 861 students in grades 9-12 from six private schools in Manipur. Data were collected via self-administered questionnaires between August and October 2024. Analyses included descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation, multiple linear regression, Results: All participants reported moderate to high academic stress, and a majority experienced mild to severe depressive symptoms. Academic stress was positively correlated with depressive symptoms and significantly predicted them (β =0.37, Conclusion: Academic stress levels were alarmingly high and significantly associated with depressive symptoms among adolescents. Future studies should explore school-based interventions to address academic stress and promote mental health.
