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
Background: Extensive studies have revealed that undergraduate nursing students experience several mental health problems during internships. Nevertheless, the mental health status of higher vocational nursing interns, especially 2-year college interns, has been neglected. This study examined the prevalence of depressive and anxiety symptoms, along with associated risk factors, among higher vocational nursing interns, and, for the first time, compared symptom prevalence between junior college and senior college interns, as well as between 2-year and 3-year college interns. Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled nursing interns from a higher vocational college in Ningbo, China. Mental health status was assessed using the Chinese versions of the Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) and Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS). Multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to identify the main factors associated with depressive and anxiety symptoms by calculating multivariable-adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results: The overall prevalence of depressive and anxiety symptoms were 36.93% (95% CI: 32.72-41.24%) and 19.56% (95% CI: 16.26-23.31%), respectively. The prevalence of depressive symptoms ( Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that psychological problems have been dramatic among Chinese higher vocational nursing students, especially the 2-year college interns, during internships. Our findings provide information to aid in promoting the mental health of this vulnerable population.
