1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Traditional legal publicity methods inadequately address both cognitive and psychological dimensions of legal awareness among Chinese vocational college students, who experience heightened anxiety when confronting legal challenges. This study evaluated whether theory-based interactive multimedia legal publicity improves psychological outcomes compared to conventional approaches. Methods: A cluster randomized controlled trial was conducted with 500 students from 14 classes across 7 colleges at a large vocational college in Southwest China. The intervention group ( Results: Linear mixed-effects models revealed significant intervention effects. The intervention group showed greater anxiety reduction (group × time interaction: Conclusion: Theory-based interactive multimedia legal publicity may effectively reduce anxiety and enhance adaptive coping among Chinese vocational college students. The intervention's reliance on familiar platforms and existing institutional structures suggests potential for scalable implementation in Chinese higher education contexts.
