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

objectivesto analyze symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress among nursing students and the coping strategies most frequently used.

methodsan observational, descriptive, and cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach, conducted with 81 students in the second semester of 2023. The Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale-21 and the Coping Strategies Inventory were applied and analyzed using descriptive statistics for frequencies, Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega tests for instrument reliability, and Bartlett's test of sphericity and Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin test for inventory adequacy.

resultssymptoms of depression predominated at normal and mild levels, while anxiety and stress symptoms ranged from moderate to very severe. Emotionally focused coping strategies were used (distancing, escape and avoidance, and positive reappraisal).

conclusionsthe frequency of symptoms of psychological distress and coping mechanisms used suggest the need for institutional actions that promote the development of psychosocial skills and emotional intelligence.
