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

University students are a high-risk population for mental health problems. However they often face barriers to care. Digital Mental Health Interventions are scalable tools to support well-being, yet evidence regarding optimal delivery formats remains mixed. This study assessed the efficacy of Trial registration: This trial was not prospectively registered. Ethics approval: The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Nantes University (IRB No. IORG0011023, Ref. 06042023-2). All participants provided informed consent before enrolment.
