Types and influencing factors of psychological health among freshmen in Chinese art vocational colleges: a latent profile analysis.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Purpose: This study aims to investigate the latent categories of psychological health among freshmen in art vocational colleges and examine the influence of demographic variables on these categories, thereby providing an empirical basis for developing targeted intervention strategies. Methods: A cluster convenience sampling method was employed to recruit 1,685 first-year students from an art vocational college in Anhui Province, China. Participants completed the Chinese College Student Mental Health Screening Scale (CSMHSS). Grounded in the theoretical framework of Probabilistic Epigenesis, latent profile analysis (LPA) was conducted to identify latent psychological health categories. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and multinomial logistic regression analysis were subsequently performed to examine the associations between demographic variables and latent category membership. Results: Significant heterogeneity was observed in the psychological health of art vocational college freshmen, with three latent categories identified: the high stressors-low symptoms group (41.8%), the moderate stressors-moderate symptoms group (43.5%), and the low stressors-high symptoms group (14.7%). All 22 dimensions of psychological health were significantly positively correlated with each other ( Conclusion: This study reveals significant group heterogeneity in the psychological health of art vocational college freshmen. Female students, freshmen from small towns, and those enrolled in the School of Fine Arts warrant particular attention. A tiered and differentiated mental health intervention system should be developed based on latent profile characteristics to address the specific needs of each subgroup.
