Unlocking academic success: the impact of time management on college students' study engagement.
Article in BMC psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
backgroundIn this study, the purpose was to examine the impact of time management on college students' study engagement and to determine the mechanisms involved. Consequently, we examined the relationship between time management and engagement in study, as well as self-control and mobile phone dependence.
methodsThe Adolescence Time Management Disposition Scale (ATMD), College Student Mobile Phone Dependence Questionnaire (CSMPDQ), Utrecht Work Engagement Scale-student (UWES-S), and Self-Control Scale (SCS) were administered to 1016 college students. A Pearson's correlation analysis and a mediation analysis using bootstrapping were performed in order to test for standard method bias using SPSS 22.0.
results①Time management was positively associated with self-control and study engagement, and negatively associated with mobile phone dependence (p <.001). self-control was positively associated with study engagement, and negatively associated with mobile phone dependence (p <.001). Mobile phone dependence was negatively associated with study engagement (p <.01). ②Time management can not only directly predict study engagement (95%CI, 0.102 - 0.208) but also affects study engagement through three indirect paths: self-control was a mediator (95%CI, 0.066 - 0.158), mobile phone dependence was a mediator (95%CI, 0.043 - 0.109), and self-control and mobile phone dependence were a chain mediator (95%CI, 0.012 - 0.032).
conclusionTime management not only influences study engagement directly, but also through the mediating effect of self-control and mobile phone dependence indirectly.
