1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: Medical students' work engagement (MSWE) is widely considered an essential indicator of their state of mind, affecting their productivity and future career development as doctors. In our previous research, grade point average (GPA) was demonstrated to be an independent predictor of self-regulated learning (SRL), which is closely associated with MSWE. However, the relationship between GPA and MSWE has not been systematically elucidated. Our study aims to discover and clarify the significant association between GPA and MSWE. Methods: We collected data from 12 universities in China and evaluated MSWE using the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES). Then, we conducted a cross-sectional study where GPA and UWES scores or categories were recorded simultaneously. Pearson's chi-squared tests and Welch's ANOVA were utilized to explore the distributional association between GPA and MSWE. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to examine whether GPA was a significant factor of MSWE, followed by a subgroup analysis to exclude other confounding factors. Ultimately, GPA was used as a key variable to develop a nomogram aimed at evaluating the possibility of low UWES scores, along with calibration and accuracy assessments. Results: Pearson's chi-squared tests ( Conclusion: Medical students with higher GPA scores tended to exhibit better MSWE. GPA was strongly validated as a significant factor in evaluating MSWE.
