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

Witnessing traumatic events is a community-level exposure linked to poor mental health. Among college students, witnessing events such as assault on campus is common yet understudied as a public health concern. This study examines how witnessing potentially traumatic events (PTEs) and students' behavioral responses-bystanding (not intervening) and upstanding (intervening)-relate to depression risk, and whether prosocial campus climate mitigates this risk. Data were drawn from the 2022-2023 cohort of the Healthy Minds Study, a national sample of U.S. college students (N = 66,474; M
