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: University lifestyle can have lasting effects on students' health, yet culturally validated instruments to examine health-promoting lifestyles are lacking in Mongolia. This study aimed to adapt the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP-II) and to assess the validity and reliability of its Mongolian version among students in Ulaanbaatar. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 827 undergraduate students from three universities in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. The instrument was translated from English into Mongolian using standard forward- and backward-translation procedures. The final version retained six dimensions and 51 items. Construct validity was assessed using confirmatory factor analysis for a six-component structure, and internal consistency was evaluated using Cronbach's Findings: Confirmatory factor analysis indicated a good fit for the six-factor structure ( Conclusion: The Mongolian version of the HPLP-II demonstrated acceptable reliability and construct validity, supporting the use of a six-dimensional, 51-item instrument to assess health-promoting lifestyles among Mongolian university students. These findings provide a foundation for future health-promotion interventions in Mongolian university settings.
