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

Introduction: Student dropout and academic failure are serious problems faced by universities around the world. The academic development of university students is the joint result of external (teacher support) and internal factors (resilience). The goal of this study is an in-depth understanding of the association between university Students' academic resilience and academic performance. Methods: All respondents were from a local Chinese public university. Two self-report scales with adequate reliability and validity were completed by 440 undergraduate students: the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) and the Perceived Teacher Support Scale (PTSS). Results: The results of this study demonstrated that academic resilience and teacher support were positively and closely correlated with the academic performance of university students. Teacher support plays a mediating role in the nexus between academic resilience and academic performance. Discussion: The findings of this study shed light on the improvement of university students' academic performance and reducing the dropout rate from theoretically and practically. The study helps identify the key factors that contribute to students' academic success and improve their well-being. The results also provide evidence for university directors to design effective programs and take initiatives to increase retention rates and improve university students' success.
