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
backgroundThe impact of mental health, including anxiety, on academic performance has been studied in several countries, but few data exist for Sudan.
aimTo investigate the correlation between anxiety scores and academic performance among adolescent schoolchildren in Northern Sudan.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was carried out during the 2021-2022 academic year among schoolchildren from randomly selected schools in Almatamah locality, River Nile State, Northern Sudan. A questionnaire was used to collect the participants' sociodemographic data. Anxiety levels were assessed using the questionnaire tools of the General Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale. Students' academic performance scores were obtained from school records. Multivariate linear regression was performed.
resultsA total of 328 students participated in this study, comprising 156 boys (47.6%) and 172 girls (52.4%). The median [interquartile range (IQR)] age of the students was 14.9 years (13.9-15.6 years). The median (IQR) of the students' academic scores was 27.6% (22.2%-48.1%). The median (IQR) of the students' anxiety scores was 0 (0-3). In univariate linear analysis, anxiety scores were positively associated with academic performance scores (coefficient = 1.19,
conclusionThe current study revealed a positive correlation between anxiety scores and students' academic performance scores. However, the association between mental health disorders, including anxiety, and academic performance is a complex issue. Therefore, further studies are recommended.
