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

This study examines the relationships among agentic engagement, academic emotions, and English as a foreign language (EFL) achievement in Chinese undergraduate students, with a focus on variations across grade levels. Utilizing a quantitative design, data were collected from 221 English majors (111 first-year and 110 fourth-year undergraduate students) via questionnaires assessing agentic engagement and academic emotions, alongside English examination scores. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS Amos to explore moderating and mediating effects. Results reveal that none of the academic emotions showed significant moderating effects. Pride stands out because it fully mediated the impact of agentic engagement on English achievement across the entire sample (indirect effect = 0.246,
