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: This study examines the relationship between growth mindset and subjective wellbeing among elementary school students, with a focus on the mediating role of academic self-efficacy and the moderating role of perceived teacher support. Methods: Utilizing the cluster sampling method, a sample of 1,740 elementary school students completed measures assessing growth mindset, subjective wellbeing, academic self-efficacy, and perceived teacher support. Results: The results show that: (1) growth mindset positively predicts elementary school students' subjective wellbeing; (2) academic self-efficacy partially mediates the association between growth mindset and elementary school students' subjective wellbeing; and (3) perceived teacher support moderates the first stage of the mediation pathway, such that the positive effect of growth mindset on elementary school students' academic self-efficacy is stronger under high levels of perceived teacher support. Discussion: These findings indicate that growth mindset influences elementary school students' subjective well-being both directly and indirectly through academic self-efficacy. Moreover, the impact of growth mindset on academic self-efficacy is stronger among elementary school students with higher perceived teacher support.
