Graduate student voices on stress and mental health: Narrative survey results from a Midsouth University in the United States.
Article in Preventive medicine reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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: Graduate students represent a uniquely vulnerable population, often navigating intense academic pressures with limited mental health resources. The objective of this exploratory study is to uncover experiences of stress and mental health, stressor management practices, and identify actionable steps universities can implement to improve mental health and well-being. Methods: Between May and July 2025, graduate students ( Results: Findings reveal graduate students are stressed; however, the meanings and management of stress varied. Most graduate students did not participate in campus activities promoting positive mental health, though they did seek mental healthcare. Narratives uncovered improvements the university can make to reduce stress and improve mental health among graduate students. Conclusion: Experiences of stress and mental health are patterned by interpersonal and institutional factors. Management of academic and financial stressors, expansion of on-campus mental health services, and institutional mental health training and mentorship support are actionable steps toward promotion of well-being on campus.
