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
The psychological well-being of primary school students holds significant value for their academic success and overall life development. A growth mindset is one of the critical factors influencing psychological well-being, yet the mechanisms through which a growth mindset exerts its impact remain underexplored. This study investigates the relationship between growth mindset and psychological well-being, focusing on the mediating role of grit and academic self-efficacy among primary school students. A sample of 301 students from a primary school in Northeast China was selected via convenience sampling. Data were collected using validated questionnaires and analyzed using SPSS 26.0. Serial mediation analysis was performed with Hayes' PROCESS macro (Model 6, V4.0). Results indicated that growth mindset indirectly predicted psychological well-being through grit and academic self-efficacy. Both constructs served as individual mediators and acted as serial mediators in the pathway from growth mindset to psychological well-being, fully bridging the connection. These findings suggest that fostering a growth mindset, along with grit and academic self-efficacy, can enhance psychological well-being among primary school students. Educators and policymakers are encouraged to implement interventions targeting these factors to support students' overall development.
