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: This study evaluated the impact of an integrated general education course-Building a Flourishing Life: Integrating KIPP and Positive Psychology-on the psychological well-being of university students in China. Drawing on the dual frameworks of the Knowledge is Power Program (KIPP) and the VIA character strengths model, the intervention aimed to promote happiness and reduce depression and anxiety. Methods: Using a mixed-methods approach, we collected pre- and post-intervention survey data ( Results: Quantitative results showed significant increases in happiness and decreases in depression and anxiety, which highlighted the additive and substitutive roles of strengths-based practices. Qualitative findings reinforced these outcomes. The fsQCA findings showed that no single module was necessary for the observed improvements in psychological well-being. Instead, multiple combinations of modules functioned synergistically. Conclusion: This study contributes to the growing literature on culturally responsive positive education and addresses recent critiques regarding the contextualization of psychological interventions in higher education.
