Burden and determinants of computer vision syndrome in university students: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundComputer vision syndrome (CVS) may significantly impact the academic performance and well-being of students. We aimed to determine the prevalence of CVS and its associated factors among university students. MATERIALS AND
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among university students in Saudi Arabia. Data were collected through an electronic tool, including the validated Computer Vision Syndrome Questionnaire (CVS-Q). Descriptive and inferential analyses were conducted. Multiple logistic regression was employed to identify predictors of CVS.
resultsOf the 458 participants, 234 (51.1%) met the criteria for CVS. Female gender (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 2.13 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.32-3.45),
conclusionExcessive screen time, female gender, and refractive errors are significant predictors of CVS among university students. Interventions should prioritize reducing screen exposure and promoting regular eye checkups to mitigate CVS and its adverse effects.
