Caffeine Consumption Pattern and Associated Side Effects and Withdrawal Syndromes Among University Students of Bangladesh.
Article in Health science reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background and Aims: Due to tight academic activity and poor time management, consumption of caffeine among university are increased day by day. Despite the stimulating effects, the effects of caffeine on health remain unexplored in Bangladesh. This study aimed to investigate caffeine consumption patterns among university students in Dhaka, Bangladesh, focusing on associated side effects and withdrawal symptoms. Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted from June to September 2024, involving simple random sampling of students aged 18 and above (mean ± SD = 23.15 ± 2.79) across various universities. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire covering demographic profiles, caffeine consumption patterns, and side effects. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS, employing descriptive statistics and logistic regression models to identify associations between caffeine use and demographic factors. Results: Among the surveyed students, about 34.0% drinking caffeine once daily, and 34.8% consuming caffeine two to three times daily. Tea (82.6%) emerged as the preferred source, followed by coffee (35.8%). Notably, female students reported higher consumption rates than males (AOR: 1.2, 95% CI: 0.82-1.81, Conclusion: These findings highlight the widespread caffeine consumption among students, particularly among females and those from non-nutrition backgrounds, raising concerns about potential dependence and associated health issues. Addressing caffeine use can enhance student well-being and academic performance, emphasizing the need for awareness and education on its effects. Longitudinal studies are also need to be carried out for evidence-based intervention.
