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.

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: College freshmen face a heightened risk of mental health problems. Recent research has extensively explored attachment and growth mindset as key factors that influence mental health. However, the specific relationship between attachment and growth mindset remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate how attachment impacts the growth mindset of college students and explore the relationship between growth mindset, attachment, and mental health. Methods: A survey of 684 college freshmen (80.1% female, average age 18.4) at a university in Huzhou was conducted using the Growth Mindset Scale, Adult Attachment Scale, and Symptom Checklist (SCL-90) and a demographic questionnaire to collect basic information about participants. Results: The findings show that attachment security positively predicted growth mindset (β=0.16), whereas attachment insecurity negatively predicted growth mindset ( Conclusion: The results highlight the importance of fostering a secure attachment style and promoting a growth mindset as key factors for improving mental health. These findings suggest that incorporating growth mindset strategies into mental health education and interventions could help students with diverse attachment styles enhance resilience and better manage psychological challenges.
