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

Students of pharmacy, medicine, and dentistry are important for shaping drug policy. The aim of this study is to assess and compare students preferences in taking painkillers. The study group consists of 382 students of pharmacy (28.8%), medicine (40.0%), and dentistry (30.1%). An anonymous questionnaire consisting of 17 questions was prepared using the Google Forms platform and distributed through social media. Ibuprofen was the most frequently preferred, regardless of the study major (57.8%). Pharmacy students expressed the least concern about the possible side effects of analgesics (17.5%). The fast onset of painkillers was more important for dental students (59.1%) and pharmacy students (44.7%), compared to medical students (39.22%). Medicine and pharmacy students indicated their studies to be their main source of information about painkillers compared to dentistry students (
