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

Recent research has highlighted the significant impact of students' enjoyment, hope, and effort on their academic English learning within social contexts. However, the complex interconnections among these factors remain unexplored. To address this gap, the present study employs a quantitative approach to investigate the combined influence of specific dimensions of students' enjoyment and hope on their effort in learning English. A sample of 711 Chinese senior high school students participated in the study by completing questionnaires on enjoyment, hope and effort. The findings, based on structural equation modeling, suggest that FLE-Private (one dimension of foreign language enjoyment) and pathways (one dimension of hope) directly and positively influence students' effort in foreign language learning. This research offers valuable insights for educators aiming to enhance students' enjoyment in English learning, foster their strategic approach to language acquisition, and promote their academic success.
