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

Introduction: Due to a variety of personal factors and the nature of their occupation, farmers experience heightened levels of stress that can lead to more severe mental health outcomes. Currently, there is a lack of consistent measures to assess stress and farmer wellbeing nationwide. The purpose of this study was to investigate the mental wellbeing of Florida farmers and identify risk and protective factors for perceived stress, sadness and depression, and suicide ideation. Methods: This research reports on survey responses from a sample of 373 adult Florida farmers collected from August-November 2024. We used Results: Farmers reported moderate stress ( Discussion: Findings revealed personal and farming-related factors contributing to stress, sadness/depression, and suicide ideation. This study gathered needed baseline data regarding perceived stress, experiences with sadness and depression, and suicide ideation among Florida farmers that will be helpful for better understanding and, potentially, mitigating risk of Florida farmers' mental health crises in coming years. Recommendations focus on prioritizing prevention over crisis response to target stressors. Findings hold implications for agricultural industry leaders, health professionals, Extension and community educators, and policymakers seeking to address farmer health through legislation, educational programming, and outreach.
