Factors impacting university students' quality of life.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
introductionQuality of life (QoL) is a broad multidimensional concept that incorporates a person's physical health, psychological well-being, social relations, and environmental factors. Although previous studies have explored QoL among students in health-related disciplines, limited research has assessed QoL in students from diverse academic programs in Bangladesh. This study sought to assess the QoL of University students in Bangladesh and to identify the key factors that determine it.
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, 417 students were recruited from Daffodil International University. Data were obtained using the WHOQoL-BREF, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), and a structured questionnaire that included information pertaining to sociodemographic and lifestyle variables.
resultsThe highest mean score was observed in the social relationships domain (62.93%), while the environmental health domain had the lowest (58.07%). Students who were physically active and had normal self-esteem reported significantly higher scores across physical and psychological health domains. Poor sleep quality, low self-esteem, and lack of exercise were consistently associated with lower QoL scores, particularly in the physical, psychological, and social domains. Female students also reported significantly lower scores than males in three of the four domains. The most consistent and strongest predictors of quality of life across domains were self-esteem and sleep quality, followed by gender, physical activity, and screen time.
conclusionThe findings highlight the significant impact of emotional, behavioral, and lifestyle factors on the quality of life of university students. These understandings reinforce the need for campus-based interventions that prioritize mental health support, encourage regular physical exercise, and promote sleep hygiene. Such efforts are essential to enhancing overall student well-being and fostering a healthier, more resilient academic community.
