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

Background: Adolescent stress and compromised psychological well-being are emerging public health concerns with long-term neurobehavioral implications. Emotional intelligence (EI)-based interventions have shown promise but remain underutilized in structured school settings in India. Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of a structured school-based EI program on stress reduction and psychological well-being among adolescents. Methods: A randomized controlled pilot study was conducted among 26 adolescents (13 experimental, 13 control) in a selected school in Coimbatore. Baseline and postintervention assessments were conducted using standardized tools: Students' Stress Rating Scale and Brief Psychological Well-being Scale. The intervention consisted of a structured EI training module delivered over multiple sessions. Statistical analysis included paired and unpaired Results: Postintervention, the experimental group demonstrated a significant reduction in stress scores ( Conclusion: The school-based EI program was highly effective in improving psychological well-being and reducing stress among adolescents. Integration of EI training into school curricula is recommended as a preventive mental health strategy.
