Mapping differentiated cognitive landscapes of university students in China via fuzzy comprehensive evaluation.

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
Introduction: This study investigates the complex underlying factors contributing to academic failure among students at elite Chinese universities. Grounded in cognitive-behavioral theory, we developed a three-dimensional framework encompassing 26 influencing factors across cognitive, emotional, and behavioral domains. Methods: Utilizing the Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation methods ( Results: Findings reveal that academic failure is characterized by a "cognitive detachment" rather than mere knowledge deficiency or emotional indifference. Specifically, (1) high-achievers demonstrate a "productive tension," where negative psychological attributes like self-doubt and learning anxiety function as significant positive drivers within the Confucian-heritage cultural context; (2) Fluctuating students exhibit high environmental sensitivity, where academic stability is contingent upon perceived support from family and peer networks; (3) Struggling students acknowledge their academic deficiencies but appear cognitively detached from the emotional impact of failure, aligning with a "lying flat" mentality fostered by current institutional evaluation models. Discussion: Theoretically, this research moves beyond linear "cause-effect" narratives to uncover how specific cognitive-emotional configurations shape academic trajectories. Practically, it highlights a need for differentiated university interventions that move beyond standardized counseling toward rebuilding "agency-performance" links, while inviting a reflective reconsideration of the core purpose of university examination systems.
