The relationship among supervisor support, academic passion, academic engagement, and critical thinking in Guangdong tourism management graduate students.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Critical thinking is essential for individual creativity, professional competence, and the competitive advantage of graduate students. While supervisors are recognized as pivotal in cultivating this skill, the mechanisms underlying their influence remain unclear. Grounded in social information processing theory, this study examines the direct effect of supervisor support on graduate students' critical thinking, as well as the sequential mediating roles of academic passion and academic engagement. Survey data from 494 graduate students, analyzed using hierarchical regression, reveal that supervisor support positively enhances critical thinking. Moreover, academic passion and engagement sequentially mediate this relationship, whereby supervisor support fosters greater academic passion, which in turn strengthens academic engagement, ultimately improving critical thinking. These findings contribute to theoretical understanding of the pathways linking supervisory support to critical thinking and offer practical implications for enhancing graduate education through targeted supervisory strategies.
