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

purposeThis study aimed to assess the levels of fear and uncertainty regarding the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 among Jouf University students and to explore the factors influencing those fears and uncertainties. DESIGN AND

methodsThis was a cross-sectional study of 416 undergraduate students who used an electronic questionnaire. Fear and intolerance of uncertainty scales were used to assess students' fear and uncertainty.

findingsResults indicated a positive correlation between fear and intolerance of uncertainty, and a negative correlation between the level of knowledge and fear. Gender, age, and type of college emerged as significant predictors of fear. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Developing strategies to respond positively to students' worries and fears and proactively help them to solve their problems and guide them in preparing a plan for the future.
