Exploring mental well-being among medical students in the Visegrad four: a cross-national analysis.
Article in BMC medical education, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The mental health of medical students is a critical concern, as their well-being directly influences performance and the overall success of educational institutions. This research aimed to investigate the mental well-being of medical students across the Visegrad Four countries. A cross-sectional study with a sample of 1507 students (395 men) was conducted using an online questionnaire in English. Mental well-being was assessed with the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale, coping strategies with the Brief COPE inventory, and somatic symptoms with the Patient Health Questionnaire-15. Sociodemographic, health-related data and satisfaction with the university were also measured. K-means cluster analysis was employed to classify students into distinct well-being groups: (1) 'Stable group' with high well-being, low somatic symptoms, and strong satisfaction, (2) a 'Risk group' with moderate well-being, moderate somatic symptoms, and minimal satisfaction, and (3) a 'Worst condition group' characterized by low well-being, high somatic symptoms, and high ratio of mental disorder diagnoses. Multinomial logistic regression indicated that the Stable group displayed higher adaptive coping, less avoidant coping, greater health control, more social support and health-promoting behaviours than the Worst condition group. These insights could inform targeted interventions to improve mental health support in medical education.
