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: Prior research has explored relationships among dispositional mindfulness, motivation, and academic performance, the mechanisms linking these variables remain unclear. This study aims to examine whether dispositional mindfulness predicts self-learning and academic achievement in Yemeni college students, and the potential mediating roles of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in these associations. Method: Two hundred and eighty-three Yemeni college students (170 males; 18-26 yrs) completed the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS), Personal Learning Scale (PLS), Intrinsic/Extrinsic Motivation Scale, and semester GPAs were obtained from college records. Results: Dispositional mindfulness correlated moderately with self-learning ( Conclusion: Higher dispositional mindfulness predicts stronger intrinsic motivation, which in turn fosters sustained self-learning and higher academic achievement; purely extrinsic motives appear insufficient for long-term gains.
