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: International medical students are exposed to complex cultural and academic environments that require continuous adaptation to both their host society and their culture of origin. This study examines acculturation among international medical students in Hungary using Berry's Acculturation Theory, which classifies individuals into four categories: Integration, Separation, Assimilation, and Marginalization. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 326 international medical students using a modified Stephenson Multigroup Acculturation Scale and self-reported measures of health behaviours, perceived stress, and mental well-being. Most participants were categorized as either Integration (46.0%) or Separation (50.9%), while only a small portion of students fell into Assimilation (0.3%) or Marginalization (2.8%) category. Consequently, the analysis focused on comparing the Integration and Separation groups. Results: Significant differences were observed in demographic and behavioural characteristics between these groups. Males (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 1.88, Conclusion: The present study identifies demographic and health-related factors associated with integration among international medical students. These findings may contribute to a better understanding of acculturation patterns and inform strategies to support students' social adjustment and well-being.
