Caveats

This is a registry record; no results are reported and recruitment has not yet begun.
Blinding method, allocation concealment strategy, and follow-up completion rate are not described.
Effect sizes, confidence intervals, p-values, and absolute outcomes are not available.
Generalizability to non-university or non-Mexican populations is not addressed in the registry record.

Evidence assessment

Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.

Study design

moderate

Two-arm randomised controlled trial design specified; no blinding mentioned.

Directness

moderate

Targets depression and anxiety in university students; outcomes are symptom scales at 3 and 6 months.

Consistency

insufficient

No results reported; consistency cannot be assessed from registry record.

Risk of bias

insufficient

No methodology detail on allocation concealment, blinding, or attrition provided.

Sample adequacy

moderate

Estimated enrollment 400 participants; adequacy depends on effect size and design, not yet evaluated.

What is missing. This record has no key findings. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
