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.
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: With the intensification of global competition and rapid technological advancement, fostering innovation capabilities among university students has become a focal point of attention across society. However, within higher education environments, various contextual factors may exert direct or indirect influences on students' motivation and effectiveness in implementing individual innovative behaviors. Methods: To address this issue, the present study takes the rapid rise of university student innovation competitions in China as a background case and adopts a dual perspective from social psychology and educational psychology. A tripartite evolutionary game model is developed, involving individual students, universities, and competition organizers. The model is designed to examine how students make strategic decisions regarding innovation under varying contextual influences, and how these decisions are shaped by the actions of universities and organizers. Results: The findings reveal that supportive educational policies, innovation-oriented campus cultures, and well-designed competition incentive mechanisms significantly enhance students' motivation and the effectiveness of their innovative efforts. Moreover, strategic support from universities and organizers plays a critical role in sustaining students' long-term engagement in innovation activities. Discussion: By integrating psychological theories with evolutionary game modeling, this study provides novel insights into how contextual interactions shape individual innovation behavior. The results offer practical implications for optimizing educational environments and provide evidence-based guidance for policymakers and educators aiming to foster student-led innovation.
