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 mixed-methods study, situated within the framework of personality and social psychology, examines the interplay of psychological capital, social support, and growth mindset in predicting academic buoyancy among undergraduate English majors across three universities in mainland China. Methods: In the quantitative phase, established instruments were utilized to assess direct and mediated relationships among 516 undergraduate English majors, analyzed via structural equation modeling. The qualitative phase involved semi-structured interviews with 18 students to offer richer insights into these dynamics, analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: The quantitative analysis revealed that psychological capital and social support significantly and directly predict academic buoyancy (β = 0.413 and β = 0.341, respectively, Discussion: Student narratives provided vivid accounts of overcoming academic obstacles, illustrating the mechanisms by which psychological capital and social support enhance adaptive beliefs and academic buoyancy. The findings underscore the importance of interventions designed to strengthen psychological capital, cultivate growth mindsets, and enhance social support networks within educational contexts.
