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

backgroundDespite efforts to enhance university students' learning and achievement, low academic performance among undergraduate students remains a challenge for many universities worldwide, especially in developing countries. This suggests there is a need to explore potential factors that help students to achieve optimal learning outcomes. Therefore, the current study aimed to investigate how and to what extent emotional intelligence and psychological capital support university students to do well in their studies and perform better, and achieve success. METHODS AND MATERIALS: The current study employed a quantitative method with a correlational cross-sectional design. Participants were 321 university undergraduate students in Ethiopia, selected across eight departments in five faculties using a stratified random sampling method. The emotional intelligence and psychological capital levels were assessed using validated and self-reported questionnaires. Their academic achievement was measured using the cumulative grade point average. Descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation, multiple regression, and path analysis were utilized in data analysis.

resultsThe findings reveal that emotional intelligence (β = 0.36,

conclusionThe findings underscore the value of emotional intelligence and psychological capital for students' academic outcomes and suggest evidence-based interventions to build psychological resources in students, thereby reducing academic failure and increasing the success rate.
