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

introductionThe study evaluated the effectiveness of a resilience training for dental students as a preventive measure for mental health and stress management, with consideration for its long-term integration into dental education.

methodsA 2-day online resilience training was tailored to address specific stressors experienced by dental students in Munich, Germany. Data were collected via online questionnaires from both participants (pre and posttraining) and nonparticipant controls over a 6-month period. Outcomes included resilience development, health behaviour, perceived stress and life satisfaction, utilising an online questionnaire. Statistical analysis (t-tests and mixed ANOVA) was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics.

resultsTraining participants showed significantly increased resilience F(1.54) = 4.93, p = 0.031, η DISCUSSION: This resilience training demonstrated preventive benefits for dental students' mental health. Limitations include selection bias, self-reported measures, lack of long-term data and confounding societal influences. Integrating such training into dental curricula may be a valuable strategy with potential for broader application in other institutions as well.
