The relationship between core self-evaluation and cognitive failures among Chinese college students: a moderated mediation model.

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
backgroundPrevious studies have confirmed that core self-evaluation is a predisposition factor for cognitive failures. However, there is little research on the potential mechanisms of action of core self-evaluation on cognitive failures. Therefore, this study aimed to explore how core self-evaluation influences cognitive failures among college students.
methodsWe recruited 1400 college students in China to complete the core self-evaluation scale (CSES), the depression-anxiety-stress scale (DASS-21), the loneliness scale (USL-8), and the cognitive failures questionnaire (CFQ).
resultsCore self-evaluation was negatively associated with cognitive failures, and depression symptoms partially mediated the association between core self-evaluation and cognitive failures. In addition, loneliness moderated the direct effect of core self-evaluation on cognitive failures and the second half of the indirect effect.
conclusionsBy constructing a moderated mediation model, this study specifically elaborated on the mediating role that depression symptoms played between core self-evaluation and cognitive failures, as well as the moderated role of loneliness, which affected core self-evaluation and cognitive failures to diverse extents.
