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
How to continuously motivate college students to participate in voluntary activities has always been one of the burning issues in the field of educational psychology research. Based on the activation theory, this study constructed and tested a moderated mediation model to explore how to improve college students' volunteer service motivation and behavior from the perspective of agreeableness traits and examined the moderating role of social support. By collecting three-wave time lagged data from 408 Chinese college students (59.6% female, age 18-22, means = 19.8, SD = 1.2), SPSS and Amos software were used to test the research hypotheses and the whole model. The results show that agreeableness traits of college students have a significant positive influence on their volunteer service motivation and behaviors. Volunteer service motivation mediates the positive influence of agreeableness traits on volunteer service behaviors. The social support perceived by college students positively moderates the impact of agreeableness traits on their volunteer service motivation and then promotes their volunteer service behaviors. These findings not only enrich the research literature on college students' personality traits, volunteer service, and social support, but also provide some suggestions on how to motivate college students to participate in volunteer service from the three aspects of personality, motivation, and social support.
