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
Introduction: The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) is fundamentally transforming educational and employment landscapes, generating increasing psychological concerns among students in technology-intensive fields. This study examines AI-related anxiety, digital well-being, and career uncertainty among engineering and information technology (IT) students, with a focus on their prevalence, interrelationships, and demographic variations. Methods: A cross-sectional quantitative design was employed using a structured survey administered to 820 undergraduate students from four Jordanian universities. Standardized measures were used to assess AI anxiety, digital well-being, and career-related concerns. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and group comparisons based on gender and academic discipline. Results: The findings indicated elevated levels of AI anxiety ( Discussion: These findings highlight the psychological impact of AI integration on students, emphasizing the need for targeted AI literacy programs, digital well-being interventions, and career guidance strategies. Addressing gender disparities and discipline-specific differences is essential to enhance students' resilience, adaptability, and readiness for an AI-driven labor market.
