Validation of General Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) questionnaire in Spanish nursing students.
Article in PeerJ, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06661512 (Acquired Brain Injury and Neurorehabilitation), which is not on this map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.

Abstract
Background: Nursing students are at risk of anxiety during their university education. Objective: To determine the psychometric characteristics of the General Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) questionnaire in a population of university nursing students. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out with 170 students at the University of Jaen (Spain) in 2022. An online questionnaire was administered that included sociodemographic and student profile variables, the GAD-7 questionnaire, and the Goldberg anxiety subscale. An exploratory factor analysis (EFA), validation with convergence, and reliability analysis using Cronbach's Results: The EFA identified a single component that explained 63.50% of the variance. It was positively correlated with the Goldberg anxiety subscale ( Conclusion: The GAD-7 presents appropriate psychometric characteristics for use in a university population of nursing students. It is capable of detecting symptoms and generalized anxiety disorder, making it a useful and simple tool for detecting anxiety-related problems in this population.
