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

Purpose: A high level of stress among medical students is perceived as stress caused by strenuous medical programs and medical school is an extremely stressful environment, to begin with. For this reason, identifying stressors facing medical students is expected to enhance medical school lecturers' understanding, leading to a provision of assistance for adequate supervision. The purposes of this study were to investigate stress levels in daily life and the electroencephalogram (EEG) characteristics during daily life and pre-examination period of 2 Methods: Medical Student Stressor Questionnaire (MSSQ) was used as a research instrument to collect data from sixty medical students. After that, EEG was administered in two periods for these studies (in daily life (baseline) and pre-examination 1 week). Paired t-test was used for analyzing the difference in the EEG characteristics in the 2 periods. Results: The results indicated that the stress levels among medical students were mild (3.33%), moderate (53.33%), and high (43.33%). Academic Related Stressor (ARS) was found to be the main cause of stress among the subjects. All had a beta wave in 2 periods. Conclusion: In conclusion, stress among medical students can alter brain function as measured by EEG. The findings could assist medical schools in better understanding medical students' stress levels and planning how to teach in order to improve student achievement.
