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

This study examined the effect of growth mindset on academic engagement and the parallel and serial mediating roles of future time perspective and grit in the relationship between growth mindset and academic engagement. The participants were 565 Chinese university students. They were asked to complete the Growth Mindset Scale, the General Future Time Perspective Scale for College Students, the Grit Scale, and the Chinese College Student Academic Engagement Questionnaire. The results showed that growth mindset positively predicted academic engagement; Future time perspective and grit can act as parallel mediators in the effects of growth mindset on academic engagement; Future time perspective and grit form serial mediators in the effect of growth mindset on academic engagement. Educators can enhance the academic engagement of university students by fostering the growth mindset, establishing the future time perspective and shaping the grit to stimulate their willingness to proactively set up future development goals and internal motivation for learning.
