The impact of interpersonal trust among university students on participation in extracurricular activities: a chain mediation model.
Article in BMC psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundBesides learning theoretical knowledge in class, participating in extracurricular activities is vital to students' life development. Interpersonal trust is the basis for university students to establish a good social network. However, there is little discussion on the mechanism analysis that affects university students' participation in the second classroom.
methodsTo explore the impact of interpersonal trust on university students' participation in extracurricular activities, this study uses self-acceptance and self-esteem as mediating variables to make it a complete chain mediation model. Through a sample survey of university students, the chain mediation model is used to analyze the data.
resultsThe results show that interpersonal trust, self-acceptance, and self-esteem significantly and positively impact university students' participation in extracurricular activities. In the chain mediation model, interpersonal trust positively affects university students' second-classroom participation through the sequential mediators of self-acceptance and self-esteem. This hypothesized pathway was statistically supported by robust model fit indices, including Akaike's Information Criterion (AIC) and Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC), derived from structural equation modeling (SEM).
conclusionUniversities should create an excellent interpersonal trust environment for students and cultivate their self-acceptance and self-esteem. Improving students' participation in the second classroom is conducive to promoting university students' physical and mental health and all-around development.
