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

The study investigated the mediating role of depression in the association between subjective academic achievement and suicide behaviour. Further, we sought to find out whether financial stress would moderate such a plausible mediated relationship. A cross-sectional survey was used in the study. Out of 460 undergraduate students sampled for the study, 51.5% were male (Meanage = 20.7; SD = 3.19). We observed that subjective academic achievement has a positive effect on depression, which in turn has a positive impact on suicide behaviour. And this relationship is not influenced by financial stress. It appears that the association between subjective academic achievement and depression is context-specific and requires further investigation, since at this stage, the relationship is fuzzy.
