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
objectiveTo compare the health status and academic progress of nursing students in Croatia, a European Union member state, and Serbia, a European Union candidate country, and to identify factors influencing their well-being and academic success.
methodA cross-sectional study was conducted with 424 nursing students from the University of Applied Health Sciences in Zagreb, Croatia, and the Academy of Educational and Medical Vocational Studies in Ćuprija, Serbia. Data were collected through an online questionnaire assessing health behavior, well-being, and academic performance. Statistical analyses included the Chi-square and Mann-Whitney U tests.
resultsCroatian students had lower absenteeism (31.6%) and exhibited more responsible sexual health behaviors, while Serbian students reported higher levels of self-satisfaction (mean rank: 189.16 vs. 148.75; p < 0.01) and academic motivation (mean rank: 137.51 vs. 105.66; p < 0.01). Both groups showed health behaviors within normal ranges, though stress and substance use were prevalent. Statistically significant differences were found in self-satisfaction and academic progress (p < 0.05).
conclusionThis study highlights differences in health and academic outcomes between nursing students in Croatia and Serbia, influenced by cultural, educational, and familial factors. Interventions addressing stress and promoting healthy behaviors are recommended.
