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 study investigates the effects of nutrition, physical activity, and sleep patterns on the academic performance of medical students, with a focus on how these lifestyle factors can be incorporated into medical education. A questionnaire-based survey involving 330 medical students from two universities was conducted to collect data on demographic characteristics, nutrition, sleep patterns, and physical activity. Academic performance was assessed by obtaining students' grade point averages (GPAs) from the respective faculties' deanships. The relationship between lifestyle factors and academic success was examined using advanced statistical analysis methods: cluster analysis and biplot method. The correlation of the lifestyle factors and GPAs was visualized in a low- dimensional space with a biplot. The findings revealed that students residing with their families, without outside work commitments, engaging in daily walking, and maintaining regular sleep patterns achieved significantly higher GPAs. Students were divided into two distinct clusters based on lifestyle factors and differences in GPA to determine the factors with the greatest impact on academic performance including the impact of studying on physical activity, self-perception of nutritional quality, engagement in daily walking, and self-perception of physical activity. There was a significant statistical difference in GPA values between the clusters. This study highlights the importance of integrating lifestyle medicine into the medical curriculum emphasizing the importance of a stable family life, regular sleep routines, and engagement in physical activity for better academic performance. By promoting healthy behaviors within the medical education, educators can support the well-being and academic success of students. Further research is needed to establish causal relationships and explore potential interventions to support medical students in achieving optimal lifestyle habits for academic success.
