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
Self-harm is a growing public health concern, particularly among university students facing academic anxiety. This study explored the underlying factors driving suicide planning and attempts in this population. Using a qualitative design, we conducted thematic analysis of interviews with eight counselors and eight students from five public and private universities. Analysis via NVivo Software revealed six core themes: (1) current mental health support and coping strategies, (2) triggers of suicidal ideation linked to family and psychological stressors, (3) perceptions of campus mental health services, (4) cultural and societal misconceptions surrounding suicide, (5) institutional barriers to accessing mental health care, and (6) student-driven recommendations for prevention and support. These findings highlight the complex interplay between academic pressure, emotional distress, and limited institutional support. The study emphasizes the need for universities to enhance access to mental health services, reduce stigma through open dialogue and peer support, and engage families through targeted workshops. Tailored interventions addressing academic, emotional, and familial challenges-such as flexible deadlines and improved counseling access-can significantly reduce suicidal ideation and promote student well-being.
