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.
PubMed lists nothing against this paper. Absence here is not a guarantee, only a check that was made.

Abstract
backgroundProficiency in interpersonal communication and social skills is fundamental for health sciences students, but public speaking anxiety and communication apprehension frequently compromise academic performance, emotional well-being, and the acquisition of essential competencies. The postpandemic educational environment has exacerbated student stress, highlighting the urgent need for reliable assessment tools for social anxiety in this population.
objectiveThis scoping review protocol aims to map instruments used to assess public speaking anxiety and communication apprehension among health sciences students, analyzing their psychometric properties, cultural adaptations, and application contexts.
methodsFollowing the Joanna Briggs Institute framework and PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews) guidelines, a systematic search will be conducted across PubMed, Scopus, Embase, LILACS, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, and the Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde Portal. Eligible studies will include those evaluating social or performance anxiety in undergraduate or postgraduate health sciences students, using validated or culturally adapted instruments. Two independent reviewers will screen studies, with discrepancies resolved by a third reviewer. Data extraction will be conducted systematically, focusing on structural and content variables. Analysis will use a mixed methods approach, combining descriptive statistics with thematic synthesis and incorporating psychometric expertise.
resultsAs of May 2026, protocol registration has been completed via the Open Science Framework. Systematic database searches and study selection are scheduled to commence in June 2026, with anticipated completion by December 2026, aligned with a 2-year implementation road map designed to generate comprehensive instrument mapping and secondary analyses for evidence-based health professional training.
conclusionsThis protocol establishes a transparent and reproducible methodological plan, ensuring scientific rigor through adherence to Joanna Briggs Institute and PRISMA-ScR standards. It will deepen understanding of social anxiety assessment in oral communication among health sciences students and support the development of more effective interventions.
