Online health information seeking behaviors and self-reported health among Chinese university students: associations and sex differences.
Article in Revista da Escola de Enfermagem da U S P, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesAim to explore the associations and sex differences between online health information seeking behaviours (OHISBs) and self-reported health among university students.
methodsCross-sectional, analytical study carried out in the 5,408 university students from Xinyang Normal University, who responded questionnaire in Wenjunxing as valid participants. t-tests and binary logistic regression analysis were performed using SPSS.
resultsSex differences in OHISBs were found. Females most liked food nutrition and diet-related OHI (p < 0.001), while males most liked physical exercise OHI (p < 0.001). For specific OHISBs, finding information about hospitals or doctors (OR = 1.785, [CI95% = 1.212-2.628], p < 0.01), and online reservation of health care projects (OR = 2.491, [CI95% = 1.056-5.876], p < 0.05) had significant impacts on females' self-reported health, and finding information about hospitals or doctors (OR = 2.171, [CI95% = 1.035-4.551], p < 0.05) had a significant impact on males' self-reported health.
conclusionFindings of sex-differentiated online health seeking and the benefits of proactive search indicate that effective digital interventions for students must combine gender-specific strategies with behavioral empowerment.
