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
Despite supervisors playing a crucial role in the cultivation of postgraduate students, the impact of supervisors' leadership on postgraduate students' well-being is poorly understood. Based on Self-Determination Theory (SDT), this study explores the immediate and delayed effect of supervisors' humble leadership on postgraduate students' well-being, together with the mediating effects of basic psychological need satisfaction and the moderating effects of power distance orientation. Using a survey experiment (Study 1) and multi-timepoint questionnaire (Study 2) design, this paper finds that supervisors' humble leadership influences postgraduate students' well-being through its effect on basic psychological need satisfaction. Power distance orientation moderates the relationships between supervisors' humble leadership, basic psychological need satisfaction, and postgraduate students' well-being; specifically, humble leadership leads to higher basic psychological need satisfaction and well-being in students with high power distance orientation compared to those with low power distance orientation. This research validates the application of SDT in higher education and clarifies how supervisors' humble leadership influences postgraduate students' well-being, providing practical guidance for its improvement.
