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
Background/Objectives: University students' lifestyle habits influence their general and oral health in the medium and long term. This study compared physical activity, dietary habits, tobacco and alcohol consumption, and oral hygiene practices among students of Dentistry, Nutrition, and Fine Arts, aiming to identify differences that may guide future preventive interventions. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted between June and July 2025 at the ADEMA University School (Palma de Mallorca, Spain). The final sample included 165 students (115 Dentistry, 32 Nutrition, and 18 Fine Arts) aged 18-30 years. A validated self-administered questionnaire, adapted from World Health Organization instruments and the ENALIA study, was used to collect sociodemographic variables, physical activity level, screen time, dietary habits, tobacco and alcohol use, and oral hygiene practices. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics; χ Results: Nutrition students exhibited the healthiest profiles: 60% reported ≥2-3 h/week of exercise and higher daily fruit and vegetable intake. Dentistry students showed the best self-perceived oral health and the greatest brushing frequency. Fine Arts students exhibited higher sedentary behavior and poorer dietary and oral hygiene habits. Significant differences among degree programs were found in physical activity, diet, and oral health variables ( Conclusions: Relevant differences in lifestyle and health behaviors were observed according to academic degree. University education appears to influence the adoption of healthy habits; therefore, health promotion programs integrating oral health as an essential component of overall well-being are recommended.
