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

objectiveThe demands of chiropractic education often result in significant stress for students, highlighting the need for effective stress management strategies, including time management practices. This study examined the relationship between time management practices and perceived stress levels among preclinical chiropractic students at 1 university.

methodsA cross-sectional survey-based study was conducted with 40 preclinical chiropractic students, using the Time Management Behavioral Scale and the Perceived Stress Scale to assess time management practices and perceived stress levels. Data were collected from February to April 2021. Analyses included confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling.

resultsThere was a statistically significant negative correlation between time management practices and perceived stress levels, indicating that better time management was associated with lower stress levels. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling analyses revealed that setting goals and priorities played a crucial role in managing perceived stress.

conclusionThis study highlights a significant association between time management practices and perceived stress levels among chiropractic students. These findings contribute to understanding how time management relates to students' well-being and academic performance, providing a foundation for future research in this area.
