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
Background: Educational expectation is a key determinant of adolescents' academic achievement, influencing their sustained engagement in school activities. However, existing research has been controversial regarding the relationship between parents' educational expectations and academic performance across diverse racial and ethnic groups. Methods: Based on a survey of 521 Tibetan adolescents in western China, this study examined the direct and indirect effects of perceived parental educational expectations on academic achievement. Particular attention was paid to the mediating roles of adolescents' own educational expectations and their learning engagement. Multiple mediation analyses were conducted to test these relationships. Results: Perceptions of parental educational expectations significantly predicted their academic achievement among Tibetan adolescents. Moreover, adolescents' educational expectations mediated the relationship between perceived parental expectations and academic achievement. Learning engagement alone did not mediate this direct relationship, but both variables exerted a chain mediation effect. Perceived parental educational expectations influenced academic achievement sequentially through Tibetan adolescents' own educational expectations and learning engagement. Conclusion: This study confirms the chain mediation model and highlights the critical roles of both parental influence and individual psychological factors in shaping academic achievement. They have significant implications for improving the academic success of minority students such as Tibetan adolescents.
