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: Fatigue occurs at a high rate among college students. Anger and anxiety are thought to be important triggers for fatigue. The mechanisms underlying the association between anger and fatigue remain unclear. The objective of this longitudinal study was to examine a sequential predictive pathway in which anger prospectively predicts fatigue through anxiety among Chinese university students. Method: The participants in this current study were 3475 college students (2686 females and 789 males, 15-42 years old, Results: In longitudinal structural equation models, T1 anger significantly predicted higher anxiety at follow-up ( Conclusions: This study provides evidence for a sequential predictive pathway linking anger to fatigue via anxiety in college students. These findings suggest that baseline state-like emotional functioning-rather than enduring traits-can initiate longer-term psychological processes. Interventions that reduce anger and anxiety at their point of emergence may help interrupt this temporal chain and ultimately alleviate fatigue.
