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
Background and aim: Healthcare suffers from understaffing; thus, attracting personnel and ensuring a high number of graduates is imperative. Therefore, intention to quit must be studied and lowered not only for those already working, but also for students. This paper investigates current intentions to quit health-related and medical studies in Austria. Materials and methods: Students enrolled in a (human) health-related studies including medicine were investigated from December 2021 to June 2022 regarding intention to quit their studies. In total, 756 participated in a nation-wide anonymous online survey in Austria. Results: In all, 11.7% have increased intentions to quit, of which a smaller number comprises medical students. After two steps, a logistic regression regarding higher intentions to quit shows significances concerning satisfaction with the program, the feeling of being capable to cope with the daily demands of the studies, feeling financially secure, and headache. Conclusion: The pandemic's effects were not indicative of intention to quit for the population studied, but dissatisfaction, not feeling up to the daily study demands, and financial issues. Thus, informing (potential) students better about the requirements and focusing on program quality are crucial. Improving intention to continue studying seems to depend on ensuring satisfaction with the study program.
