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

backgroundIn Mediterranean countries, resilience among university students remains underexplored, despite its critical role in managing academic and personal stressors. Emotional intelligence (EI) and perceived stress are known to influence resilience but require further investigation in culturally diverse settings.

aimTo explore the relationships between academic resilience, EI, and perceived stress among university students in three Mediterranean countries characterized by diverse academic and cultural systems. SAMPLE: 1833 undergraduate students from 12 universities in Egypt, Jordan, and Oman.

methodsA cross-sectional correlational design was employed. Participants completed the academic resilience scale (ARS-30), Schutte self-report emotional intelligence test (SSEIT), and perceived stress scale (PSS). Multiple linear regression was used to identify predictors of academic resilience.

resultsThe mean resilience score was 67.4 (SD = 18.4). EI positively predicted resilience (B = 0.57, β = 0.66, p < 0.001), whereas perceived stress was negatively associated (B = -0.48, β = 0.15, p < 0.001). Other significant predictors included good health, advanced academic years, GPA, nationality, and participation in stress-management training. Variables, such as gender, age, and field of specialty, did not significantly influence resilience. The model explained 54% of the variance in resilience (R

conclusionsThis study provides novel insights into the predictors of resilience in culturally diverse Mediterranean contexts. Emotional intelligence and stress management are critical for enhancing academic resilience. Universities should integrate EI training, stress reduction programs, and resilience-building initiatives into their curricula. Future research should explore longitudinal trends and culturally tailored interventions to promote resilience.
