Connecting Emotional Intelligence with Academic Performance and Family Dynamics among Fresh Undergraduates in a Health Sciences University: Preliminary Findings.

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.
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: Emotional intelligence (EI) is vital in various life domains, particularly for new undergraduates in health sciences. The study assessed the prevalence and associated factors of above-average EI among fresh undergraduates in a health sciences university. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted at UNIMED Ondo, assessing socio-demographic characteristics, family dynamics, psychiatric morbidity, and EI through questionnaires. Data were analyzed with SPSS 21 from November 2023 to January 2024. Results: The prevalence of above-average EI was 92.9%. Respondents with married parents had significantly higher odds of above-average EI compared to those with non-married parents (odds ratio: 13.466, p < 0.001). Respondents who self-identified as academically "good" had 0.059 times lower odds of above-average EI compared to those who identified as "very good" academically (p < 0.001). The odds of above-average EI increased by one for each scale increase in monthly allowance (p = 0.034). Conversely, the odds decreased by 0.889 for each scale increase in Post United Matriculation Examination score (p < 0.001). The odds of above-average EI also decreased by 0.481 for each scale increase in the number of children the mother had (OR = 0.481, p < 0.001). Conclusions: Fresh health sciences undergraduates demonstrated high EI, which positively impacted academic performance . Strengthening family systems is critical for enhancing EI.
