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
Background: Adolescence is a crucial period for identity formation and the development of achievement motivation. In the context of rural-urban integration, adolescents encounter diverse social, cultural, and economic dynamics, which complicate their developmental processes through intergroup relations and perceptions. Meta-stereotypes represent a key factor that influences adolescent motivation and behavior. This study aims to examine the mediating role of intergroup anxiety in the relationship between meta-stereotypes and achievement motivation among adolescents in rural-urban integration areas. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 396 adolescents (aged 12-15 years; mean age = 13.89, SD = 0.98; 48.74% female) from a middle school in the rural-urban integration area. Participants completed self-report measures assessing intergroup anxiety, achievement motivation, and meta-stereotype activation. A mediation analysis with a bias-corrected bootstrapping procedure (5,000 draws) was conducted to assess whether intergroup anxiety mediates the relationship between meta-stereotypes and achievement motivation. Results: Achievement motivation was negatively correlated with meta-stereotypes ( Conclusion: This study explored the interplay among meta-stereotypes, intergroup anxiety, and achievement motivation in adolescents from rural-urban integration areas in China. The findings offer important insights for educational strategies and psychological interventions aimed at enhancing interpersonal relationships and academic confidence among rural adolescents in these areas.
