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
This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted on a purposive sample of 727 university students, aged 18 to 29 years (M = 21.09, SD = 2.45), grouped based on their psychoactive substance use in the past month. The study aimed to explore drug use and its relationship with academic performance among university students in Castilla y León, Spain. Additionally, it sought to determine whether significant differences in academic performance were associated with potential predictor variables, including absenteeism, substance use, traits of emerging adulthood, and other health-related factors such as depression, anxiety, and stress. The results indicated higher consumption rates of alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis compared to those reported in the Household Survey on Alcohol and Drugs in Spain (EDADES 2022) for individuals aged 15 to 34 in Castilla y León. A relationship between substance use and academic performance was identified, with performance differences observed based on the type of consumer. Although the predictive contribution of the variables included in the regression model was low (10.6%), it remained significant, suggesting the need to refine the model by incorporating additional variables to enhance understanding of the phenomenon. These findings can assist universities in designing preventive interventions.
