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: Despite the importance of emotional intelligence (EI) for academic performance of university students with disabilities, limited research was undertaken to address this issue. Objectives: This research investigates the impact of EI on quality of life (QoL) and academic performance among university students with disabilities. Drawn on Salovey and Mayer's EI framework, this research examines the impact of four main EI dimensions: self-emotion appraisal, others' emotion appraisal, use of emotion, and regulation of emotion, on academic success through the lens of QoL. Methods: A quantitative, cross-sectional research design was employed, including a sample of 328 university students with several types of disabilities. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was employed to analyze the obtained data and test the justified hypothesized relationships. Results: The results demonstrate that the higher levels of EI are significantly related to improved QoL, which consequently has a positive impact on students' academic performance. The results confirmed that QoL demonstrated partial mediating effects in the relationship between EI and academic achievements, signaling that EI can contribute to academic success both directly and indirectly by fostering students' overall QoL. Implications: The study contributed to the current literature by emphasizing the interconnections of emotional competences, quality of life, and academic performance, and provided practical implications for interventions aimed at supporting this vulnerable population.
