Exploring the correlation between academic achievement and self-regulated learning on critical thinking in undergraduate medical students.

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
objectiveThis study examines the relationship among medical students' academic achievement, self-regulated learning, and critical thinking ability.
methodsThis study employed a cross-sectional analytical design involving 120 medical students. The Critical Thinking Tools (CriTT) questionnaire, validated instrument for measuring critical thinking skills, was used. Academic achievement was assessed using Grade Point Average (GPA), and self-regulated learning was evaluated using the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ). Data analysis included Spearman's rank correlation and multiple linear regression using SPSS version 24 to examine association between variables with statistical rigor.
resultsThis study shows that the respondents demonstrated an average critical thinking score of 198.13 ± 25.14. The average GPA of the respondents was 3.60 ± 0.16. The respondents exhibited an average self-regulated learning score of 184.12 ± 19.68. Bivariate analysis showed significant relationships between critical thinking ability and self-regulated learning (p = 0.000).
conclusionThe findings highlight the significant role of self-regulated learning in fostering critical thinking, whereas academic achievement, as measured by GPA, was not a significant predictor. These insights advocate for pedagogical reforms in medical education to nurture reflective and analytical learning environments.
