Stressful Life Events and Chronic Stressors as Predictors of Psychopathological Conditions in the WMH-ICS Initiative.
Article in Salud mental (Mexico City, Mexico). 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
Introduction: Stressful life events (SLEs) and chronic stressors are established risk factors for psychopathology, yet their bidirectional associations with psychopathological conditions remain understudied among university students. Objective: To examine whether prior lifetime psychopathological conditions predict subsequent exposure to 12-month SLEs and current chronic stressors, andwhether these stressors predict 12-month onset and persistence of psychopathological conditions among incoming university students. Method: Data were from the World Mental Health International College Student Initiative. Web-based surveys at 77 universitiesin 18 countries assessed prior lifetime psychopathological conditions, SLEs, chronic stressors, mental disorders, non-suicidal self-injury, and suicidal thoughts and behaviors among first-year students (n=60,673).Poisson regression models estimated reciprocal associations of stressors with prior psychopathological conditions. Results: Exposure to recent stressors was highly prevalent: 72.9% reported one or more 12-month SLEs, and 46.1% reported one or more current chronic stressors. Relationships of psychopathological conditions with stressors were largely positive and reciprocal. Population-attributable risk proportions (PARPs)for stressors predicting lifetime first onsets of psychopathological conditions occurring in the 12 months before the survey were 17.0-35.8% across conditions for SLEs, 10.9-34.9% for chronic stressors, and 29.9-51.4% for either SLEs or chronic stressors. Comparable PARPs predicting 12-month persistence of psychopathological conditions were 3.8-30.0% across conditions for SLEs, 5.8-22.0% for chronic stressors, and 10.1-44.6% for eitherSLEs or chronic stressors. Discussion and Conclusion: These findings highlight the prevalence of stressors among university students and suggest that prevention and early intervention efforts should focus on reducing exposure to these stressors and/or their psychological effects.
