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

Background: Academic satisfaction is known as one of the most important factors in increasing students' efficiency, and academic burnout is one of the most significant challenges of the educational system, reducing student motivation and enthusiasm. Clustering methods try to categorize individuals into a number of homogenous groups. Aims: To cluster undergraduate students at Shahrekord University of Medical Sciences based on academic burnout and satisfaction with their field of study. Materials and Methods: The multistage cluster sampling method was used to select 400 undergraduate students from various fields in 2022. The data collection tool included a 15-item academic burnout questionnaire and a 7-item academic satisfaction questionnaire. The average silhouette index was used to estimate the number of optimal clusters. The NbClust package in R 4.2.1 software was used for clustering analysis based on the k-medoid approach. Results: The mean score of academic satisfaction was 17.70 ± 5.39, while academic burnout averaged 37.90 ± 13.27. The optimal number of clusters was estimated at two based on the average silhouette index. The first cluster included 221 students, and the second cluster included 179 students. Students in the second cluster had higher levels of academic burnout than the first cluster. Conclusion: It is suggested that university officials take measures to reduce the level of academic burnout through academic burnout training workshops led by consultants to promote the students' interests.
