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
Background: Childhood trauma is associated with mental health, and nursing undergraduates who exhibit prodromal psychotic symptoms may be more vulnerable to the effects of childhood trauma. This study aims to investigate the mediating role of depression and anxiety in the relationship between childhood trauma and prodromal psychotic symptoms among undergraduate nursing students. Methods: We conducted a questionnaire survey among nursing undergraduates at Nantong University, China from December 25 to 29, 2024. General information, Childhood trauma questionnaire-short form (CTQ-SF), Prodromal questionnaire-brief version (PQ-B), Depression, anxiety, and stress scales (DASS-21) were used for survey. Pearson correlation analysis and mediation effect test were used to analyze the correlation and effect. Results: A total of 271 valid questionnaires were collected. The prevalence of prodromal psychotic symptoms in nursing undergraduates was 26.6%. The overall score of prodromal psychotic symptoms showed a positive correlation with both the total score and dimensions of CTQ-SF and DASS-21 ( Conclusion: Our findings suggest potential pathways that may inform future intervention strategies to reduce prodromal psychotic symptoms and improve negative emotions in nursing undergraduates, especially those with childhood traumatic experiences. However, causal inferences cannot be drawn due to the cross-sectional design. Limitations include the single-institution sample and reliance on self-report measures.
