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
Background: With the in-depth implementation of innovation-driven development strategies, University-Industry Collaboration (UIC) has become an important pathway for promoting technological innovation and industrial upgrading. However, enterprises, as one of the main collaboration entities, show significant differences in their participation enthusiasm and depth. Existing research mainly explores UIC influencing factors from resource dependence and knowledge management perspectives, with insufficient exploration of the enterprise cognitive dimension. This study constructs an analytical framework based on social cognitive theory to systematically examine how multiple cognitive factors and environmental factors influence enterprise decision-making in UIC participation. Purpose: To reveal how observational learning, self-efficacy, outcome expectations, and policy support jointly influence enterprises' decision-making process in UIC participation, and to explore the moderating role of organizational characteristics in this process. Methods: Through a questionnaire survey of 300 enterprises in China's coastal regions, this study employed Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to analyze the influence mechanisms of observational learning, self-efficacy, outcome expectations, and policy support on enterprises' willingness to participate in UIC. Results: The research found that: (1) observational learning, self-efficacy, and outcome expectations have significant positive impacts on enterprise participation willingness (β = 0.285, 0.312, 0.356, Conclusion: This research extends the application of social cognitive theory in inter-organizational collaboration research, provides empirical evidence for policy design and enterprise practice, and emphasizes the need to enhance UIC effectiveness through capacity building, differentiated policy support, and risk management.
