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

backgroundLearning and studying approaches are among the topics of great importance in medical sciences universities. Different approaches to learning can explain why some students learn better than others. This study aims to assess the relationship between learning or thinking styles and academic performance among nursing and medical students. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis is a quantitative and cross-sectional study that was conducted on 364 nursing and medical students of Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences in 2022-2023. The tools used in the present study are as follows: the short version of the Approaches and Study Skills Inventory for Students, the Sternberg-Wagner Thinking Styles Inventory, the Academic Performance Index including the semester grade point average and the overall grade point average. Descriptive statistics, including mean and standard deviation were employed for data analysis. Moreover, inferential statistics such as normality or correlation coefficient, independent sample

resultsA positive and significant correlation was found between nursing and medical students' thinking or learning styles and their academic performance (

conclusionSince the strategic approach is a predictor of academic performance, identifying and determining the types of approaches adopted by students using diagnostic evaluation is a method of evaluating students' learning styles at the beginning of the educational process so that teachers can tailor the most effective approach and instructional strategies that suit the needs of students and improve academic performance.
