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

purposeAgricultural producers face unique stressors that significantly impact mental health, including depressive symptoms, anxiety, and suicidal ideation. This study offers a novel application of the Stress Process Model (SPM) to examine how agriculture-related stress, social support, and resilience shape mental health outcomes among agricultural producers.

methodsN = 525 Illinois farmers participated in mailed surveys, with data collected in two panels: June-August 2020 (N = 296) and March-May 2021 (N = 229). Participants completed the Perceived Stress Scale, Farm Stress Survey, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, and Brief Resilient Coping Scale. Mental health outcomes were assessed, along with general health. Data was analyzed using structural equation modeling in R.

resultsHigher perceived and agricultural stress were linked to increased depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and suicidal ideation. Social support reduced depressive symptoms (β = -0.121, p < .001) and suicidal ideation (β = -0.216, p < .001), mediating and moderating the relationship between stress and mental health. Resilience moderated the effects of stress, lowering depressive symptoms (β = -0.100, p = .001) and anxiety symptoms (β = -0.088, p < .001).

conclusionFindings highlight the importance of addressing occupational stress, enhancing social support, and promoting resilience to improve the health of agricultural producers. Interventions should target stress reduction and support systems based on the SPM framework.
