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
Drawing on ecological systems theory, this study proposed a moderated mediation model to examine how social support influences English academic achievement. Specifically, the model tested the mediating role of foreign language academic emotions and the moderating role of English academic self-concept. A total of 1,877 Chinese secondary school students from four grade levels completed an offline questionnaire. Results showed that foreign language enjoyment and anxiety positively and negatively mediated the relationship between social support and English academic achievement, respectively. Moreover, English academic self-concept significantly moderated the initial stages of both mediation pathways, i.e., from social support to foreign language enjoyment and anxiety, which amplified the positive effect of social support on foreign language enjoyment and attenuated its negative effect on foreign language anxiety. These findings underscore the importance of simultaneously fostering external social support and enhancing students' internal academic self-concept in English instruction, suggesting that effective foreign language teaching should integrate both environmental and cognitive strategies to optimize students' emotional experiences and academic outcomes.
