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
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and determinants of depression and subthreshold depression among Chinese university students, with a focus on the influence of demographic, behavioral, and academic factors. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 3,600 undergraduates from five universities in central China using the CES-D scale and a self-designed lifestyle questionnaire. Multivariate logistic regression and ANOVA were employed to identify risk and protective factors. Results: The overall depression detection rate was 25.60%, with 9.97% classified as subthreshold depression. Male gender, senior year, low family income, and major dissatisfaction were significant risk factors. Regular exercise served as a protective factor, while excessive smartphone use, smoking, alcohol use, and family history of mental illness were associated with increased risk. A dose-response relationship was observed between major satisfaction and depression severity. Conclusion: The findings support a spectrum-based view of depression and highlight the need for multidimensional, personalized mental health interventions targeting high-risk student subgroups.
