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

Background: Medical vocational college freshmen face severe challenges to their psychological resilience from various stressful events upon their enrollment. This qualitative study aimed to explore the authentic experiences and intrinsic characteristics of psychological resilience among medical vocational college freshmen. Methods: The study employed a descriptive phenomenological design. A purposive sample of 24 medical vocational college freshmen was recruited as participants. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to collect data between January 2025 and February 2025. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using the Colaizzi descriptive analysis method. Results: Data analysis identified nine subthemes falling into three macrothemes: (a) Challenges: The Erosion of Psychological Resilience, describing how freshmen's psychological resilience is eroded when they face difficulties in adapting to college life; (b) Support: The Recovery of Psychological Resilience, focusing on how freshmen regain resilience through internal and external support; (c) Cognition: The Maintenance of Psychological Resilience, explaining the factors that promote the sustained development of freshmen's psychological resilience. Conclusion: Freshmen face pressures in academics, interpersonal relationships, and self-management. Family and peer support, together with personal growth, contribute to resilience recovery. Educators should employ cognitive restructuring, experiential learning, and other strategies to help maintain their psychological resilience.
