Mindfulness and academic engagement among medical students: the roles of psychological capital and self-concept clarity.
Article in BMC psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundSelf-concept clarity and mindfulness have gained increasing attention in educational and psychological research, as they are considered important variables in explaining differences in students' levels of academic engagement. However, the moderating role of psychological capital in this relationship remains insufficiently understood.
objectivesThis study examines the mediating role of self-concept clarity in the association between mindfulness and academic engagement, and the moderating role of psychological capital in this pathway.
methodsA total of 503 medical students from Shandong Xiehe University, Jinan, China, participated in the study and completed the Cognitive and Affective Mindfulness Scale-Revised (CAMS-R), the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale for Students (UWES-S), the Self-Concept Clarity Scale (SCCS), and the Student Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ).
resultsAnalysis revealed that self-concept clarity partially mediated the relationship between mindfulness and academic engagement. The mediation model explained 11.0% of the variance in academic engagement (R
conclusionThese findings provide evidence for the psychological mechanisms underlying student engagement and offer practical implications for medical education, including the development of mindfulness-based interventions and strategies to enhance psychological capital among medical students.
