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

Amid the accelerated transformation of higher education, university students face intensifying cognitive demands that challenge both learning and innovation. Drawing upon cognitive load theory and self-determination theory, this study investigates the psychological pathways through which consultation-oriented teacher or counselor support (TS) enhances students' innovation literacy. A chain-mediation structural equation model (SEM) was developed to examine the sequential relationships among TS, psychological safety (PS), intrinsic motivation (IM), cognitive load (CL), and innovation literacy, while perceived innovation climate was introduced as a contextual moderator. Data were collected from 300 undergraduates at three universities located in Eastern, Central, and Western China using validated questionnaires assessing TS (emotional encouragement, exploratory guidance, feedback support), PS, IM, subjective CL (task complexity and effort), and innovation literacy (cognitive, motivational, and behavioral dimensions). Results indicated that TS significantly improved PS, which in turn enhanced IM and reduced perceived CL. These psychological mechanisms jointly promoted students' innovation literacy, particularly its cognitive and motivational components, whereas the pathway from IM to observable innovation behavior remained comparatively weak, reflecting a motivational-behavioral gap. Furthermore, perceived innovation climate moderated several key paths, indicating that supportive institutional environments amplify the positive effects of consultation-oriented support on psychological resources and innovative outcomes. Overall, the study establishes an integrated consultation-oriented framework for understanding support-driven innovation in higher education and offers practical implications for consultant training, teacher coaching, and institutional policy aimed at optimizing task design, balancing cognitive demands, and transforming motivation into sustainable innovation behavior.
