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: Academic performance is a critical determinant of career opportunities for medical students. This study aimed to identify the socio-demographic, institutional, and social factors associated with academic achievement among medical students across Egypt's diverse university systems. Methods: A multi-center cross-sectional study utilizing an online survey was conducted from January to May 2025, involving 751 medical students from 38 public, private, and Al-Azhar universities across Egypt. Academic performance was measured using self-reported cumulative percentage. Multivariable linear regression was used to analyze the relationships between academic performance and various predictive factors. Results: The mean cumulative percentage for the cohort was 85 (SD = 8.96). In the final multivariable model, lower academic performance was significantly associated with being male (unstandardized coefficient ( Conclusion: Academic performance among Egyptian medical students is significantly influenced by a combination of institutional, demographic, and social support factors, which appear more impactful than traditional socioeconomic markers in this cohort. These findings highlight potential systemic inequities and emphasize the need for targeted educational interventions and policy review to ensure a fair and supportive learning environment for all students.
