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
Purpose: Social support is a valid predictor of individuals' learning motivation, but the specific mechanism of the two is still unclear. In order to explore the specific mechanism between them, we examined the mediating role of belief in a just world (BJW) and the moderating role of gender in the relationship between social support and learning motivation. Methods: A total of 1320 students enrolled in three higher vocational colleges in eastern China were surveyed using the adolescent Social Support Scale, the college students' Motivation to Learn questionnaire, and the College Students' Belief in a Just World Scale. Descriptive statistics and correlation analyses were performed for all study variables, and finally, mediating and moderating effects were tested using the process developed by Hayes. Results: In China, the relationship between social support, BJW, and learning motivation of higher vocational college students shows a two-by-two positive correlation. Social support can directly influence learning motivation and function through the mediation of BJW. Gender moderates the first half of the pathway of the mediating effect of social support - BJW - learning motivation and the direct pathway of social support - learning motivation, ie, the positive effect of social support received on BJW and is more remarkable for boys when compared to girls. In addition, among the mediating effects played by BJW, the intrinsic justice dimension contributed the most, the ultimate justice dimension the second, and the intrinsic injustice dimension the least. Conclusion: This study adds to and extends the relevant research on the influence of social support on individuals. It confirms the moderating effect of gender and provides a new idea for enhancing the learning motivation of disadvantaged student groups. The results of the study can provide a reference for researchers and educators to further explore how to enhance the learning motivation of higher education students.
