Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on university performance: a retrospective follow-up study of the University of Split, Croatia.
Article in Journal of global health, 2026. 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
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the academic performance, financial health, scientific output, and student and staff mobility of higher education institutions globally. Here, we report on a retrospective analysis of the core activities at the University of Split, Croatia, from 2017 to 2023, with a focus on the pandemic's impact thereon. Methods: Using interrupted time series analysis, we examined trends in student success, research output, financial indicators, and mobility patterns before, during, and after the pandemic, with a total of 34 indicators. Results: We found no significant disruptions in academic performance, financial stability, or overall institutional operations at the university level, while the observed differences at the faculty level were unrelated to the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusions: These findings indicate that, in the observed period, the University of Split did not experience measurable pandemic-related disruptions in key academic, financial, and operational indicators. They emphasise the importance of institutional preparedness, digital adaptability, and financial diversification to ensure the stability and resilience of higher education institutions in future crises.
