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
objectiveMedical students are experiencing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) due to academic demands, dietary factors, such as coffee consumption and psychological stress. This study examined the relationships among coffee consumption, psychological stress, and GERD among medical students. A cross-sectional simple random sampling study was conducted among 200 students at the Faculty of Medicine, Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University Jakarta.
resultsThe study found that a significant portion of students consumed coffee (53%), and experienced psychological issues, including anxiety (42%), depression (28%), and psychological stress (28%). GERD was found in over a quarter of student (27%). GERD was significantly associated with drinking high coffee consumption of more than 3 cups daily, long-term consumption of more than 4 years, instant coffee intake, depression, anxiety, and psychological stress (p < 0.05; 95% CI). However, in multivariate analysis only psychological stress remained the strongest risk factor significantly associated with GERD (OR 3.968; 95% CI 1.59–5.90). The study concludes that psychological stress is the strongest factor linked to GERD, more than anxiety, depression, or coffee habits. Reducing stress and limiting coffee may help lower GERD risk among students.
