Educational attainment and subjective well-being among Chinese residents: the mediating role of language proficiency and the moderating role of the Hukou system.
Article in BMC psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Against the backdrop of declining global rankings of subjective well-being among Chinese residents, the mechanisms through which educational attainment shapes well-being have emerged as a critical area of inquiry. Drawing on data from the 2021 Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS), the present study examines the pathways linking educational attainment to subjective well-being, with particular attention to the mediating role of language proficiency and the moderating influence of the Hukou system. The findings suggest that educational attainment is positively associated with subjective well-being, and that language proficiency partially accounts for this association. Moreover, the Hukou system moderates the association between educational attainment and residents' language proficiency and moderates the indirect association between educational attainment and subjective well-being via language proficiency. These results provide novel insights into the complex interplay between education and well-being, offering important implications for the formulation of educational policies and the promotion of social equity.
