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

International students in Saudi universities face academic and adaptation challenges shaped by emotional, cognitive, linguistic, and sociocultural factors. This study examined whether emotional intelligence and cognitive flexibility predicted academic success and adaptation outcomes among international students in Saudi public universities. A quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted with 410 international students using structured measures of emotional intelligence, cognitive flexibility, academic success, adaptation outcomes, Arabic proficiency, and sociodemographic characteristics. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, Kendall's tau-b correlations, hierarchical regression, and observed-variable path analysis. Duration of residence was significantly associated with Arabic proficiency, χ
