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

Objective: To describe sleep quality, perceived stress, and physical activity levels, as well as to identify the associations between these variables in fourth-year Kinesiology students at the Catholic University of the Most Holy Conception Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in 29 fourth-year Kinesiology students (16 women, 13 men; aged 21-27 years) from a Chilean university. Physical activity was assessed using IPAQ-SF, sleep quality with the PSQI, and perceived stress with the PSS-14. Group comparisons were performed using Student's t-tests, Mann-Whitney U tests, or chi-square tests as appropriate, with corresponding effect sizes. A linear regression model was used to predict total physical activity from sex and perceived stress. Results: Men reported significantly higher levels of vigorous ( Conclusions: Sex differences in physical activity were observed among Kinesiology students, with women reporting lower moderate-to-vigorous activity, while sleep was similar and two individual stress items differed.
