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

Academic adaptation is crucial for the success and well-being of international students, especially in rural areas where cultural and social support resources may be limited. This study aimed to identify predictors of academic adaptation among international students in the rural southern United States, focusing on social support, cultural integration, alcohol use, and acculturative stress. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 141 international students from two universities: the University of Mississippi/Oxford campus and the University of Alabama. Data were collected through a web-based survey using validated scales to measure cultural integration, acculturative stress, social support, alcohol use, and academic adaptation. Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression analyses were performed to identify significant predictors of academic adaptation. The sample consisted of 54.6% male and 45.4% female students, with a mean age of 29.4 years. The majority were graduate students (89.4%), with the majority being funded by graduate teaching or research assistantships (78.7%). Correlation analyses showed that social support was positively correlated with academic adaptation (r = 0.62,
