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
Introduction: College presents students with various new challenges, including changes in environment, learning methods, friendships, and other unfamiliar situations, potentially triggering mental health issues. Recent epidemiological data show that the prevalence of depression and stress among college students aged 18-24 years is 37.2% and 23.7%, respectively. Objective: This study aimed to determine the circumstances and factors affecting the quality of life, self-esteem, and stress of first-year undergraduate nursing students in Indonesia. Methods: In total, 300 nursing students were recruited to participate in a quantitative descriptive cross-sectional mental health survey to determine the quality of life, self-esteem, and stress levels of first-semester students across multiple nursing education centers. The instruments used in this study were the WHOQOL-BREF, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). Multiple linear regression was conducted to identify significant relationships between the variables. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses with Microsoft Excel and SPSS, presenting results as regression coefficients and 95% confidence intervals. Results: The results of bivariate analysis in this study showed that health status, relevance of expectations, goals, and standards had a significant influence on quality of life ( Conclusion: Based on the findings that first-semester nursing students experience moderate stress yet generally exhibit good self-esteem and quality of life, universities should prioritize assessments of students' physical and psychological well-being during their adaptation period. It is recommended to implement counseling services, enhance support from guardian lecturers, and foster positive engagement with parents to address the expectations and goals influencing students' quality of life. These strategies aim to improve overall well-being and academic success among new nursing students.
