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
In the field of second language acquisition, there is a growing recognition of the importance of emotional factors, particularly emotional intelligence (EI), in influencing learners' willingness to communicate (WTC) in a second language (L2). However, previous studies have predominantly adopted a variable-centered approach, often overlooking individual heterogeneity and the mediating role of foreign language enjoyment (FLE) in the relationship between EI and WTC. To address these gaps, this study integrated variable-centered and person-centered approaches to examine 1111 students from Chinese private colleges, representing a distinct educational ecology. Questionnaires were used to measure EI, FLE, and L2 WTC, followed by mediation analysis and latent profile analysis (LPA). Results indicated that EI positively predicted WTC (
