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

backgroundUniversity students encounter a variety of challenges and stressors that have an impact on various aspects of their lives, including their personal well-being, resilience, socialization, and character development. The identification of students' personality traits and their correlation with future anxiety is crucial in determining the degree to which they possess the capacity to adjust and confront challenges.

methodsThis cross-sectional, correlational study involved 654 students from the Faculty of Nursing at Mansoura University. Data were collected by a sociodemographic questionnaire, a Big Five Inventory questionnaire, and Zung's self-rating anxiety questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Kruskal Wallis, and Mann-Whitney tests with the IBM SPSS software package, version 20.0.

resultsThe personality trait of openness was the most frequently observed among the participants, with a mean of 33.15 ± 7.22. A significant proportion of students76.0%, demonstrated an absence of feeling anxiety. A statistically significant relationship (P < 0.001) was detected between the personality traits of agreeableness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism and levels of anxiety. Furthermore, no significant correlation was found between anxiety and the traits of openness and extraversion.

conclusionsThis study contributes to understanding the correlation between undergraduate nursing students' academic achievement, personality traits, and anxiety levels. Thus, students must understand their personalities and highlight the importance of their psychological well-being.
