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
backgroundNumerous studies have shown that the motivation of medical students has decreased. If we know what factors decrease motivation, we can predict and reinforce learning behaviors in medical students. This study aimed to explore and explain the reasons for the decrease in the motivation of medical students at Jahrom University of Medical Sciences, Iran. MATERIALS AND
methodsA qualitative design based on the conventional content analysis approach was used. This study was conducted at Jahrom University of Medical Sciences in 2019-2021. Data were drawn from 24 semi-structured interviews with 52 medical students in the third year to seventh year. Purposeful sampling was performed. The average interview time was (53.42 ± 22.18) minutes. The 12 individual interviews and five focus group discussions (40 participants) were immediately verbatim and analyzed by the Colaizzi method by Max-Q (2014) data software.
resultsThe mean age was (22/30 ± 2/16). The mean grade was (13.34 ± 1.28). After conducting 24 semi-structural interviews, 180
