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.

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
backgroundIn contemporary societies, the pursuit of performance and the experience of urgency emerge as dominant forces shaping individual lives. In this context, delaying behaviors assume particular significance, especially for university students, who are immersed in environments that seem to prioritize speed and efficiency as the main routes to adulthood. The pressure to be flawless and fast, coupled with uncertainty about the future, calls for reflection on procrastination, its impact on psychological well-being, and the role of educational institutions. This study explored university students' opinions and experiences regarding academic procrastination.
methodsTen focus groups were conducted with 89 students enrolled in a Bachelor's degree program. All focus groups were recorded and transcribed verbatim. The corpus was analyzed using Thematic Analysis of Elementary Contexts and Reflexive Thematic Analysis.
resultsThe former, a cluster-based thematic procedure, identified seven clusters capturing both the organizational aspects of university life and the experience of being a student in contemporary society. The secondary thematic analysis further explored these dimensions, emphasizing themes such as social pressure and concerns about the future.
conclusionsFindings suggest that understanding the dynamics underlying procrastination can inform university policies attuned to young adults' developmental needs and well-being.
