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

Objectives: This clinical cross-sectional study examines the perceptions of caffeine consumption among high school students in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area. The purpose of the study is to gain insight into the motives behind caffeine consumption among this population. Methods: A total of 2273 high school students participated in the study by anonymously filling out an online questionnaire via Cognito forms. The motives behind caffeine consumption can be influenced by the perceptions students hold about caffeine and its effects. Results: This study reveals that a high proportion (97.2%) of the surveyed high school students reported daily caffeine consumption. Over 80% of these students were consuming more than 100 mg of caffeine per day, surpassing the daily limit recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Conclusions: These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions and policies aimed at promoting healthier caffeine consumption habits among high school students. The findings of this study have implications for healthcare professionals, policymakers, and parents in understanding adolescent caffeine consumption patterns and providing effective interventions to promote healthy habits.
