Article in Health science reports, 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
Background and Aims: Breakfast consumption is a key lifestyle behavior that may influence both mental health and academic performance among university students. Evidence from Bangladesh remains limited. This study examined the associations between breakfast consumption patterns, mental health status, and academic performance among Bangladeshi university students. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 503 students from 15 public and private universities across Bangladesh between July and September 2025. Data were collected using a structured self-administered questionnaire assessing demographic and lifestyle characteristics, breakfast consumption frequency, mental health status, and academic performance. Breakfast consumption was categorized as regular (≥ 5 days/week) or irregular (≤ 4 days/week). Mental health was assessed using the Perceived Stress Scale-10 (PSS-10), Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). Chi-square tests were used to examine associations, and ordinal logistic regression was applied to identify predictors of academic performance. Results: Irregular breakfast consumption was prevalent among students. Breakfast consumption was significantly associated with perceived stress ( Conclusions: Regular breakfast consumption is independently associated with better academic performance and more favorable mental health outcomes among Bangladeshi university students. Promoting regular breakfast habits may support both academic success and student well-being.
