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

Many factors, such as health, marital status, social relationships, and job status, influence psychological wellbeing. Previous research has suggested that educational attainment is also a key contributor to a happier life. Utilising data from the Understanding Society survey (2010 -2018), we conducted a comprehensive analysis of the direct and indirect effects of education on psychological wellbeing of 68,283 individuals in the UK. After controlling for relevant variables, we identified a direct association between educational attainment and psychological wellbeing. This aligns with earlier studies examining the link between education and happiness. While some of these studies report significant positive relationships, our results underscore the complexity of factors influencing psychological wellbeing, extending beyond education alone.
