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

backgroundAlthough studies indicate that chronotype might be correlated with procrastination, the specific mechanism of that correlation has not been fully discussed.

methodsThis study investigated the associations of future self-continuity and self-control with the relationship between chronotype and academic procrastination by conducting a questionnaire survey of 774 college students.

resultsA negative correlation was observed between chronotype and academic procrastination, and analyses suggested that future self-continuity and self-control may serve as statistical mediators, both individually and as a chain of mediation.

conclusionsThe present study enriches and deepens our understanding of the potential mechanisms underlying the association between chronotype and academic procrastination, and provides a novel perspective that may inform approaches to the prevention and intervention of academic procrastination.
