Health-Related Quality of Life and Its Association With Multimorbidity Among University Students in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Journal of patient experience, 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
The study aimed to assess the effect of chronic diseases on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among university students. A cross-sectional analytic study was conducted at King Abdulaziz University, involving 1173 students. Questionnaire on chronic diseases, HRQoL using the 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), alongside other factors was distributed electronically. Regression analysis was used to identify factors associated with HRQoL. The mean ± SD scores across SF-36 dimensions varied, with physical functioning scoring the highest (74.81 ± 27.82) and energy/fatigue the lowest (38.52 ± 24.03). The physical and mental component summary scores were 68.07 ± 18.67 and 49.20 ± 23.17, respectively. The study found a 23.1% prevalence of multimorbidity. Multimorbidity was associated with significantly lower HRQoL across all dimensions. Female sex, low family income, and lack of exercise were predictors of poor HRQoL. High-impact diseases were strongly associated with poorer physical health. The study revealed significant burden of multimorbidity that demands targeted interventions. Focus on modifiable risk factors, such as exercise and socioeconomic support, could enhance overall well-being and prevent negative health outcomes.
