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.

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.

Abstract

Background: Young adults in South Korea experience high stress from academic and economic pressures, but help-seeking and service use remain low. Mobile-based interventions have emerged as promising strategies to improve access to mental health support; however, empirical evidence for non-clinical young adult populations remains limited. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Methods: This randomized controlled trial with a wait-list control group evaluated Results: The intervention showed a small, non-significant reduction in stress compared with the wait-list control group [B = -0.21, 95% Conclusions: Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT07174544).
