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

Our objectives in this study were to understand the impact of COVID-19 disruptions on the academic and personal experiences of undergraduate students at a state land-grant institution in the Western United States, and to use those insights to identify actionable ways to improve student success. We used a mixed method survey to assess strategies used by undergraduates to adapt to COVID-19 disruptions. Results revealed that despite challenges, the majority of students continued toward their academic goals. Face-to-face classes yielded the greatest student satisfaction, and students reported great dissatisfaction with separation from peers and instructors. These insights will be especially helpful to educators and administrators in responding to future challenges and planning future approaches. This overview of students' attitudes associated with moving from in-person to online coursework may also be useful for advising students considering which of these instructional paradigms to pursue.
