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
This study aimed to examine the association of nomophobia on activity participation and anxiety. This cross-sectional and descriptive study was conducted between March and June of 2024 with a sample of students studying at the Faculty of Health Sciences of the University. The Nomophobia Questionnaire (NMP-Q), the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) were utilized for data collection. Of the 382 students who participated in the study, 93.2% were female. Female students demonstrated a mean score of 67.21 ± 16.93(min-max:20-100) on the NMP-Q scale, with a range from 20 to 100; a mean score of 6.65 ± 2.2424 (min-max:0.00-10.00) on the COPM, with a range from 0.00 to 10.00; and a mean score of 41.0 ± 10.67(min-max:20-68) on the STAI, with a range from 20 to 68. The findings of the correlation analysis revealed a significant, negative relationship between the level of activity performance among students and their levels of anxiety (rpb=-0.127, p < 0.005) and nomophobia (rpb=-0.147, p < 0.001). As the levels of nomophobia among students increased, there was a 19.7% decrease in performance levels (ß=-0.197; R
