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
introductionNicotine dependence and its psychological foundations, including anhedonia, are major public health issues, especially among young adults. There is a dearth of knowledge regarding nicotine dependence and anhedonia especially among female young adults. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the associations between anhedonia and nicotine dependence among female undergraduate students.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted in March 2024, among 449 female undergraduate students, in Saudi Arabia. Data were collected using the Fagerström test for nicotine dependence (FTND) and the Snaith-Hamilton Pleasure Scale (SHAPS).
resultsA total of 449 female undergraduate students participated in the study. The majority were aged 18-20 years (62.8%). The study found that 11.4% of participants reported nicotine use, primarily e-cigarettes (66.7%). Nicotine users reported higher parental [45.1% vs 26.4%, χ
conclusionsThe study's results support the notion that psychological discomfort influences nicotine use, demonstrating a substantial association between anhedonia and nicotine use. Given the influence of familial nicotine use, there is an immediate need for targeted interventions that address both social and psychological aspects.
