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

Introduction: Drawing on social exchange theory, this study examined the impact of economic pressure on young people's marital intentions, with a focus on the mediating role of psychological capital. Methods: This study used Mplus 8.0 structural equation modeling and SPSS 26.0 to analyze questionnaire data. Specifically, descriptive analysis was conducted on control variables such as sex, age, and education using SPSS, and differential analysis and reliability testing were performed on each variable; Mplus was used to compare the validity of various variables through model competition, and the relevant hypotheses of this study were also validated. Results: The results indicated a significant negative correlation between economic pressure and marital intentions ( Conclusion: These findings suggest that economic pressure may diminish marital intentions in young adults partly by depleting psychological capital. The study highlights the importance of enhancing psychological resources in interventions aimed at supporting young people's marriage decisions, offering practical implications for policymakers and mental health practitioners working with young adults.
