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
Objective: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of Imposter Syndrome (IP) and its associated factors among Thai medical students. Methods: Thai medical students voluntarily participated in this cross-sectional survey conducted from September to October 2022. The completed online questionnaires included the Clance Imposter Phenomenon Scale (CIPS) to assess IP Status, along with several other factors from different questionnaires: the Single-Item Measurement of Suicidal Behaviors, the Patient Health Questionnaire, the Resilience Inventory, and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. Linear regression analyses were conducted to examine the associations between these factors and IP. Results: A study involving 477 medical students revealed that 47.1% of Thai participants reported experiencing frequent IP, while 7.1% identified at an intense level. Notably, students in their 2nd year, along with those exhibiting high resilience, demonstrated lower CIPS scores when compared to their 1st-year counterparts, with regression coefficients of -4.72 and -9.66, respectively. Conversely, factors such as moderate and high self-esteem, as well as indicators of depression, were significantly associated with an increased severity of IP. Conclusion: Approximately 50% of Thai medical students experience Impostor Syndrome, which is associated with higher rates of depression. Additionally, high self-esteem may worsen IP. Promoting resilience through structured curricula and group therapy overseen by medical schools could be an effective approach to address this issue.
