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
Grounded in positive youth development (PYD) perspective and the developmental assets framework (DAF), this study examined a moderated chain mediation model to investigate how perceived parental autonomy support (PAS) was associated with adolescent future orientation (AFO) through the sequential mediators of growth mindset and hope, and how peer relationships moderated these pathways. Data were collected from 604 middle school students in suburban Beijing using validated scales measuring PAS, AFO, growth mindset, hope, and peer relationships. The findings showed that: (1) PAS was significantly associated with more positive AFO. (2) Growth mindset and hope sequentially mediated the relationship between PAS and AFO, indicating that PAS was associated with a growth mindset, which in turn was linked to higher hope, ultimately correlating with a stronger future orientation. (3) Peer relationships moderated the initial link between PAS and growth mindset: the positive effect of PAS on growth mindset was stronger for adolescents reporting higher quality peer relationships. However, peer relationships did not moderate the association between PAS and hope. Conclusions: These findings suggest the mechanisms through which parental autonomy support facilitates adolescents' future orientation, highlighting the crucial sequential roles of growth mindset and hope. The moderating effect of peer relationships explains the importance of the broader social context in shaping how parental autonomy support influences adolescents' core beliefs about their abilities. This research contributes to understanding positive youth development and has implications for interventions aimed at fostering adolescents' future planning and resilience.
