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

Background: Mass Innovation and Entrepreneurship (IE) have become a global trend, yet medical education systems often fail to meet students' innovation development needs. This study examines how universities can enhance medical students' IE Willingness and ability. Methods: By analyzing survey data from 1,467 medical students under Constructivist Theory, we employed Amos 23.0 and SPSS 29.1 for cross-sectional path analysis. The study measured latent constructs-IE recognition, training courses, research talent models, incentive mechanisms, willingness, and ability-through 36 observed variables. Results: The analysis revealed highly significant direct effects on IE Willingness from the Research Talent Training Models (β = 0.857), IE Incentive Mechanism (β = 0.731), innovation courses (β = 0.696), and IE recognition (β = 0.521). For mediation effects on IE Ability (via willingness), only IE recognition (β = 0.122) and incentive mechanisms (β = 0.064) showed significance, while research models (β = 0.053) and innovation courses (β = 0.062) were non-significant. These findings suggest that optimizing incentive mechanisms, refining innovation courses, and strengthening research talent models-the most impactful driver-can effectively foster medical students' innovation engagement.
