1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 and Aims: Problem-solving skills involve organizing and using information. This requires certain tendencies and prerequisites. This research aimed to study how learning motivation affects problem-solving. It also looked at critical thinking as a mediator. The focus was on students at Jiroft University of Medical Sciences, Iran, in 2024. Methods: The study was cross-sectional and involved 290 students from various fields at Jiroft University of Medical Sciences. It took place from January to May 2024. Data were gathered using standard questionnaires on learning motivation, problem-solving, and critical thinking. We analyzed the data with descriptive tests and structural equation modeling using Smart PLS3 and SPSS-23. Results: The findings showed that learning motivation positively impacts problem-solving ( Conclusion: The results suggest that good learning motivation and critical thinking improve problem-solving. Therefore, we recommend that university leaders enhance learning motivation and offer training to boost critical thinking, leading to better problem-solving.
