1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The impact of positive psychological traits (mindfulness, gratitude, optimism, and hope) on psychological well-being has been studied well. However, the contributions of positive coping strategies and life stressors in these associations still need to be examined. This study investigated the mediating roles of positive coping strategies and life stressors among the associations of mindfulness, gratitude, optimism, and hope on psychological well-being. 1766 Chinese college students of Shandong Xiehe University were recruited to complete the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS), the Gratitude Questionnaire (GQ-6), the Optimism Scale (OS), the Adult Hope Scale (AHS), the Ways of Coping Questionnaire (WCQ), the Student-Life Stress Inventory (SLSI), and the Global Well-being Scale (GWB). The study revealed that positive coping strategies and life stressors partially mediated the associations of mindfulness, gratitude, optimism, and hope on psychological well-being. The results support the critical roles that positive coping strategies and life stressors play in positive psychological traits' impacts. This study may contribute to understanding the possible mechanism behind the link between positive psychological traits (mindfulness, gratitude, optimism, and hope) and psychological well-being through their interplay with positive coping strategies and life stressors.
