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 pursuit of sustainable higher education, understanding the interplay between motivational, affective, and cognitive factors is essential for fostering student success. This study examined the influence among achievement motivation, satisfaction with academic major, and successful intelligence, and their collective role in sustaining higher education outcomes in Saudi Arabia. Using a cross-sectional design, a survey was administered to 529 undergraduate students from multiple faculties using validated scales. Structural Equation Modelling indicated that achievement motivation significantly predicted major satisfaction and sustainable education outcomes both directly and indirectly through partial mediation by major satisfaction. Major satisfaction had a direct positive effect on sustainable education, while successful intelligence independently contributed to sustainability. Findings of the study underscore that sustainable university education is optimised when institutions integrate motivation-enhancing strategies, strengthen person–major alignment, and embed adaptive cognitive skills into curricula. Policy recommendations include autonomy-supportive pedagogy, developmental advising, and real-world problem-centred learning to produce adaptable, innovative graduates aligned with Saudi Vision 2030 goals.
