Does attending elite colleges matter in the relationship between self-esteem and general self-efficacy of students in China?
Article in Heliyon, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
This study analyzed the reciprocal relationship between self-esteem and general self-efficacy among students from both the elite and non-elite universities in China. Descriptive statistics showed that the levels of general self-efficacy remained stable among Chinese college students albeit with minor fluctuations, while their self-esteem continuously declined during the four academic years; students from elite universities had higher self-esteem than their counterparts from non-elite universities. Moreover, the general self-efficacy of students was significantly and positively correlated with their self-esteem at college. Using a four-wave cross-lagged model, we found that the self-esteem and general self-efficacy among elite university students reinforced each other from the freshman to the junior years, whereas the self-esteem of their equivalents from non-elite universities monodirectionally predicted their subsequent general self-efficacy levels from the sophomore to the senior years. The study adds to the literature by (1) exploring the directionality of the relationship between self-esteem and generalized self-efficacy with four-wave panel data, and (2) discussing the heterogeneity of the relationship among sub-groups of the college students. The study proposed that institutions of different tiers should take targeted interventions to boost students' self-esteem and general self-efficacy.
