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
Background: Psychological richness is an important factor affecting the meaning in life of college students. Although previous studies have confirmed the association between psychological richness and meaning in life, its mechanism remains unclear. Objective: This study aimed to examine the relationship between psychological richness and the meaning in life of college students, and the chain mediating role of the sense of coherence and self-compassion in such a relationship. Methods: This study surveyed 2,671 college students in Henan Province, China, using the Psychologically Rich Life Questionnaire, Sense of Coherence Scale, Self-Compassion Scale-Short Form, and Meaning in Life Questionnaire. Results: (1) Psychological richness was significantly correlated with sense of coherence ( Conclusion: Psychological richness can not only directly predict college students' meaning in life, but also indirectly predict their meaning in life through the chain mediating effect of sense of coherence and self-compassion. This research provides valuable suggestions for universities, which will help them adjust their mental health education policies and provide a solid scientific basis for enhancing the sense of meaning in life and improving the mental health status of college students.
