Factors Associated with Motivation in Medical Students: A 30-Month Longitudinal Study.
Article in Medical science educator, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
This longitudinal study aimed to assess the factors associated with motivation in 303 Brazilian medical students after a 30-month follow-up. Their demographics, study habits, sleep quality, motivation (Brazilian version of the Academic Motivation Scale-BAMS), learning approaches (R-SPQ-2F scale), and stressors (MSSF-Medical Student Stress Factor scale) were examined. We found an increase in amotivation and extrinsic motivation through external regulation (e.g., "I come to school to earn a degree") and a decrease in intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation through integrated regulation (e.g., "because studying broadens our horizons") in medical students after the 30-month follow-up. Students in earlier stages of medical training showed greater increases in amotivation. Factors such as the learning approach, hours spent studying, sex, stressors, studying just before examinations, and sleep problems were predictors of the different dimensions of motivation. Medical students' motivation changed negatively as medical training progressed.
