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: Stress and coping are key determinants of mental health. However, representative data for Germany remain scarce. This study provides population-based findings on the prevalence of perceived stress and coping as well as on their association. Methods: Data were derived from the representative study series 'Health in Germany' conducted by the Robert Koch Institute (wave 2024; n = 27,102; 51.1 % women; age range: 18 - 99 years). Descriptive analyses of stress ( Results: Approximately 20 % of respondents showed elevated stress levels, particularly women, individuals of working age, and those with low or medium formal education. Conclusions: The findings underscore the public health relevance of stress and indicate potential approaches for preventive measures by promoting suitable and target-group-specific coping strategies.
