Preventive behaviors related to COVID-19 based on social cognitive integrative model constructs among medical students: A cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC research notes, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveThe COVID-19 outbreak in Iran has prompted the investigation of preventive behaviors in vulnerable and key groups. This descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study determined preventive behaviors for COVID-19 among medical students using an integrated social cognition model and identified influencing factors.
resultsThe study of 650 medical students with a mean age of 24.37 ± 3.78 years showed that the total scores of the integrated social cognition model and COVID-19 prevention behaviors were at the medium level, 85.44 ± 8.70 out of 155 and 10.78 ± 1.99 out of 20 scores, respectively. Univariate and multivariate regression analysis showed that the variables of marital status (β=-1.95 [CI95%=-3.36 to -0.53], P = 0.007), maternal literacy (β = 2.59 [CI95%=0.96 to 4.21], P = 0.002), paternal literacy (β = 2.47 [CI95%=0.89 to 4.04], P = 0.002), place of residence (β = 3.46 [CI95%=2.14 to 4.79], P = < 0.001), being a native (β = 1.70 [CI95%=0.21 to 3.19], P = 0.025), and educational level (β=-3.16 [CI95%=-1.64 to -4.68], P = < 0.001) are strong independent predictors of COVID-19 preventive behaviors. Single students, parents with university education, were nondormitory and native, and at the basic science level earned higher scores for the model constructs (p < 0.05). These results can be used to design an educational intervention for COVID-19 preventive behaviors in medical students.
