Prevalence and impact of mistreatment on academic motivation among clinical year medical students in Thailand.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Mistreatment can adversely affect students' academic performance and mental health. This study investigated the prevalence of mistreatment and its association with academic motivation among Thai clinical-year medical students. A cross-sectional study was conducted among medical students throughout Thailand using the Composite Questionnaire of Mistreatment and Academic Motivation Scale (AMS). Descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, correlations, and regression analyses were conducted. A p value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. The sample included 399 students, with a median age of 23 years (interquartile range [IQR]: 22-24), and 61.5% were female. A total of 81% of participants experienced mistreatment. Twenty-nine percent of students thought that mistreatment occurred because the maltreaters did not consider mistreatment as inappropriate or serious. Students who experienced mistreatment exhibited lower AMS (B = - 9.16, 95% CI - 15.37 to - 2.95, p value = 0.004) than those who did not. Moreover, students who experienced academic mistreatment exhibited a higher amotivation score (B = 1.50, 95% CI 0.16 to 2.85, p value = 0.029) than those who did not. The prevalence of mistreatment was unexpectedly high, and it was associated with students' motivation to study. Educational institutions should prioritize addressing this issue and developing strategies to provide assistance, including enhancing reporting systems.
