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

Global healthcare challenges highlight the need to cultivate social responsibility in medical education. However, traditional teaching methods inadequately develop this competency, overlooking peer-driven mechanisms. This study proposes a moderated mediation model to explore how peer interaction impacts medical students' social responsibility, examining extracurricular activities as a mediator and achievement motivation as a moderator. Using cluster sampling, data from five waves (2014-2023) of the Student Survey of Learning and Development (SSLD) at a Chinese research university were analyzed, involving 6,546 medical students. Validated scales measured peer interaction, extracurricular activities, achievement motivation, and social responsibility. SPSS PROCESS with 5,000 bootstrap samples tested mediation and moderation effects. Peer interaction significantly and positively predicted medical students' social responsibility (
