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
backgroundThe transition to university represents a crucial period for the consolidation of health-related behaviors that may persist into adulthood. Examining gender and field-of-study differences can help identify factors shaping students' well-being and lifestyle habits.
methodsThis study assessed lifestyle behaviors and psychological well-being in 202 university students (125 females, 77 males; mean age = 19.76 ± 2.40) including 157 medical and 45 non-medical students. At the beginning and end of the academic year, participants completed questionnaires assessing diet (MEDAS), physical activity (IPAQ, VEQ-I), and psychological well-being (PSS-10, WHO-5, PGWB-S).
resultsMales showed higher BMI, greater volitional resources supporting goal-directed behavior (VEQ-VF), and psychological well-being, while females reported greater stress (PSS-10) and lower volition (
conclusionsThese results suggest that volitional resources support adaptive behaviors and are linked to both physical activity and psychological health. Promoting volitional skills, particularly among medical students and females, may enhance well-being and encourage healthier lifestyles during their university years.
