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

Mental health issues such as stress and anxiety are highly prevalent among university students, often affecting their academic performance and overall well-being. Understanding these conditions through objective, real-world data is essential for developing effective monitoring and intervention strategies. We present a multimodal dataset that captures students' daily stress and anxiety levels through self-reports and wearable sensor data. The dataset was collected during one academic semester (February-July 2025) from undergraduate volunteers at two Mexican universities. Participants provided daily ratings of stress and anxiety using a mobile application, while Fitbit Inspire 3 devices continuously recorded physiological and behavioral data including heart rate variability, sleep quality, oxygen saturation, stress score, physical activity, and step count. The dataset features over 80% questionnaire compliance and validated Fitbit measurements. This dataset addresses the scarcity of public, ecologically valid datasets on student mental health and enables reproducible research and analyses in affective computing, wearable sensing, and machine learning for stress and anxiety monitoring.
