Academic-Related Stress Among Ghanaian Nursing Students.
Article in Florence Nightingale journal of nursing, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
aimThe life of a student may be affected by different stressors in both the internal and external environment. Although people from all walks of life experience stress on daily basis, students are more likely to experience stressful situations because of their academic requirements. To identify stressors among nursing students in Ghana.
methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted among 400 students sampled from first year to fourth year students. Students were included in the study if they are above 18 years, nursing students and have been registered by the university for the 2019/2020 academic year.
resultsA majority of the students (73.0%) perceived themselves to be stressed with academic-related work and cognitive, behavioural and emotional symptoms were highly prevalent among the students. Students enrolled in the regular programme were 0.09 times (p < .0001) less likely stressed than those in the modular stream of the training programme and female students compared to their male counterparts were 2.18 times (p < .0001) more likely feeling stressed.
conclusionThe students with high cognitive symptoms also show high emotional and behavioural symptoms and vice versa. Nursing training institutions may consider further studies to investigate the impact of stress on academic performances and identify appropriate support students.
