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

General practice students are faced with greater stress and poorer career prospects than other medical students. Self-leadership has an important impact on their coping styles. However, understanding these relationships is complicated by the fact that six types of self-leadership strategies can be combined in various ways based on their levels and shapes. Latent profile analysis, a person-centered method, has helped in addressing these complexities. This study aimed to explore the different profiles of self-leadership among general practice students and differences between different self-leadership profiles and coping styles. A total of 336 general practice students from China were investigated via a self-leadership scale and coping styles scale. Mplus 8.0 was used for latent profile analysis, and BCH was used for subsequent analysis. We identified four profiles of self-leadership: low, medium, medium-high and high. We also found that these self-leadership profiles differentially predicted general practice students' coping styles. Our findings offer a theoretical basis for targeted interventions aimed at enhancing self-leadership in general practice students, thereby reducing stress and improving coping mechanisms.
