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

aimTo assess the use of sedative pharmacological agents (SPA) among students in Croatia during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic.

methodsAn online questionnaire, specially developed for the research purposes, was completed by 1403 students. The questionnaire inquired about general characteristics, the effect of the pandemic and earthquakes on students' lives, and SPA use (method of purchasing, modes, and frequency).

resultsIn the total sample, the SPA use before the pandemic significantly correlated with that after the beginning of the pandemic (P<0.001). After the beginning of the pandemic, medical students used significantly more SPA than other biomedical students (P=0.017). When compared with non-biomedical students, biomedical students did not differ significantly in SPA use after the beginning of the pandemic (P=0.365).

conclusionMedical students used more SPA than other biomedical students. Biomedical students did not differ in SPA use from non-biomedical students.
