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: University students are internationally recognized as a population at risk due to unhealthy lifestyle behaviors and elevated health risks. Supporting positive behavioral change requires understanding their intentions to adopt healthier habits.

Methods: A cross-sectional methodological study was conducted in 2023 among university students in Finland ( Results: Findings from all three countries and regions indicated that Spearman's Conclusion: The current version of the HLIS demonstrates promising psychometric properties for assessing health-related behavioral intentions among university students in a cross-cultural context. Further validation with more diverse international samples is recommended.
