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

Learning engagement is essential in vocational education that can help in students' development and equip them academically and professionally. The present study aimed to elucidate the dynamic interplay of perceived social support and engagement in learning among Chinese vocational students, examining a chain of mediation of emotional resilience and mindfulness and the moderating role of depression. A questionnaire was administered to 1545 Chinese vocational students. The evidence from this study suggested that (1) the perceived social support had a significant positive direct effect on learning engagement; (2) emotional resilience and mindfulness are chain mediators linking perceived social support to learning engagement; and (3) there was a significant moderating effect of depression on the mindfulness-to-engagement pathway. In particular, the facilitative effects of mindfulness on engagement in learning in cases of increased depression levels were comparably undermined. These results are useful in explaining the psychological processes underlying the effects of perceived social support on learning engagement among students in Chinese vocational colleges. Beyond the theoretical value, the evidence helps vocational educators develop more precise interventions for both learning support and mental well-being.
