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
introductionAllied health sciences students face considerable psychological demands during clinical training, which may contribute to elevated levels of stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms. Identifying protective psychological factors is therefore important for supporting student well-being. This study examined a structural model of the associations among emotional intelligence, self-compassion, and academic resilience, with a focus on the potential mediating role of self-compassion.
methodsThis multi-center cross-sectional study included 452 students from anesthesia, operating room technology, and pre-hospital emergency care programs across four universities in Tehran. Data were collected using the Self-Compassion Scale-Short Form (SCS-SF), Brief Emotional Intelligence Scale (BEIS-10), and Academic Resilience Scale (ARS), all showing acceptable reliability (Cronbach's α > 0.70). Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) in AMOS. Model fit was evaluated using GFI, CFI, and RMSEA, and indirect effects were tested via bootstrapping.
resultsEmotional intelligence, self-compassion, and academic resilience were significantly and positively correlated (p < 0.001). The proposed model demonstrated acceptable fit (GFI = 0.94, CFI = 0.92, RMSEA = 0.072). Emotional intelligence (β = 0.440, p < 0.001) and self-compassion (β = 0.419, p < 0.001) were significantly associated with academic resilience, explaining 65% of its variance. Bootstrapping results indicated a significant indirect association of emotional intelligence with academic resilience through self-compassion (β = 0.321, p = 0.004).
conclusionThe findings suggest that emotional intelligence and self-compassion are important correlates of academic resilience among allied health sciences students. The results support an integrated model that may inform the design of interventions aimed at strengthening psychological resources and improving student well-being. Given the cross-sectional design, causal interpretations should be made with caution.
