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

Introduction: Although previous research has linked growth mindset to the intrapersonal dimensions of social emotional skills, little is known about how different mindset types relate to these skills. Moreover, the role of negative automatic thoughts in this relationship among Grade 5 and Grade 6 elementary students remains unclear. Methods: This study examined the direct and indirect associations between growth mindset and the intrapersonal dimensions of social emotional skills among fifth- and sixth-grade elementary students. A total of 541 students participated in the study. Results: The analysis showed that growth mindset was directly associated with the intrapersonal dimensions of social emotional skills and indirectly linked through negative automatic thoughts and self-control. These associations were stronger in the growth mindset group compared with the indifferent mindset group, indicating different patterns across mindset groups. Discussion: These findings shed light on the mechanisms that link growth mindset with intrapersonal social emotional skills in elementary students.
