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 7 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
backgroundResearch has shown that parental educational expectations, self-efficacy, and learning engagement play a crucial role in influencing students' subjective well-being. However, the specific mechanisms through which parental educational expectations impact adolescents' subjective well-being via self-efficacy and learning engagement are not well understood.
methodsThis study investigates the influence of parental educational expectations on adolescents' subjective well-being, with self-efficacy and learning engagement as mediating variables. In April 2024, a sample of 1170 adolescents was selected from four middle schools in Shandong Province, with a mean age of 13.91 years (SD = 0.777). Data analysis was conducted using structural equation modeling (SEM) in AMOS 24.0 and SPSS 24.0.
resultsThe study revealed the following key findings: (1) Parental educational expectations were significantly and positively correlated with adolescents' subjective well-being; (2) Self-efficacy mediated the relationship between parental educational expectations and adolescents' subjective well-being; (3) Learning engagement also mediated the relationship between parental educational expectations and adolescents' subjective well-being; (4) Self-efficacy and learning engagement jointly operated as serial mediators between parental educational expectations and adolescents' subjective well-being.
conclusionThese findings provide valuable insights into the factors that influence adolescents' subjective well-being and identify potential pathways for enhancement. They carry significant theoretical and practical implications for understanding and improving the well-being of adolescents.
