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

aimThis study describes the physical, mental, social, economic, and diversity issues experienced by rural first-generation college nursing students. DESIGN AND

methodsThis cross sectional study was conducted at a rural community college situated in an agricultural area with a significant Latinx farm worker population. A total of 87 students matriculated in an associate degree RN program were invited to participate in a survey to explore a variety of issues impacting students.

resultsAn overwhelming majority of participants (75.6%) reported family depending on them as a source of emotional support while 47.6% also had family depending on them for financial support while attending school. Approximately 73% of participants were unsure of receiving mentoring support or did not receive mentoring support during the admissions application process. A substantial number of respondents (31.6%) had financial concerns and considered dropping out of college. First-generation college students were significantly more likely to express an interest to work in rural settings (87.9%) following graduation (χ PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: First-generation college nursing students lack several supports traditionally viewed to help students pursue a higher education. Despite this, the participants noted they were making a difference among themselves, their family, and the rural community from which they hail.
