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
This multi-cohort study investigated the independent and interactive effects of growth mindset, social support networks, and academic engagement strategies on the psychological well-being of Chinese middle school students (N = 1,237, across three cohorts). Participants ranged in age from 12 to 15 years, with a gender distribution of 52% females and 48% males. A longitudinal design with three waves of data collection spanning three years was employed. Structural equation modeling (SEM) analyses revealed that growth mindset, social support from family, friends, and teachers, and academic engagement strategies all had significant positive main effects on student well-being. A significant interaction effect emerged between growth mindset and friend support, indicating that friend support was particularly beneficial for students with a weaker growth mindset. These findings highlight the importance of fostering a growth mindset and cultivating supportive social networks to promote the psychological well-being of adolescents during a critical developmental period in Chinese education.
