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

backgroundLow quality of life (QoL) in university students is often associated with unhealthy lifestyle and negative impacts on students' ability to learn and succeed. To date, no research has examined the QoL of medical students in Jordan or the demographic factors that may associate with lower QoL. MATERIALS AND

methodsA quantitative, cross-sectional study with a descriptive design was chosen for this study. Participants were 512 medical students from one public university in Jordan. The Arabic version of the World Health Quality of life-brief survey (WHOQOL-BREF) was used to collect data online from students.

resultsRegarding the overall QoL, most students rated their QoL (67%) and health satisfaction (64%) as good. There were significant differences across the various QoL domains in relation to gender, academic achievements, and academic year level (

conclusionLower QoL scores among female students may reflect a socially disadvantaged environment and poorer well-being for female medical students. Lower scores in physical and psychological domains among students with lower GPAs suggest the need for initiating well-being programs to promote a study-friendly atmosphere.
