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
Introduction: Personality traits and psychological resilience are known to influence addictive behaviors, including smoking. This study aimed to examine the relationship between university students' personality traits, resilience, and their psychological dependence on smoking. Methods: A descriptive and correlational design was employed. The study included 214 university students. Data were collected using a Personal Information Form, the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Revised-Abbreviated Form (EPQR-A), the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS), and the Test to Assess Psychological Dependence on Smoking (TAPDS). Descriptive statistics and correlation analyses were performed to evaluate the relationships between variables. Findings: The mean scores were 12.92 for the EPQR-A, 18.08 for the BRS, and 53.13 for the TAPDS. A significant positive correlation was observed between TAPDS total scores and the extraversion and psychoticism subdimensions of the EPQR-A. Conversely, a significant negative correlation was found with the lie subdimension ( Conclusion: The findings suggest that interventions aimed at reducing smoking dependence among university students should consider individual personality traits. Approaches that strengthen psychological resilience may be particularly effective in mitigating addiction levels. Both psychological and behavioral strategies targeting resilience are recommended to support students in preventing and reducing cigarette dependence.
