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

Objective: To explore the psychological mechanism of perceived stress on achievement motivation (including motivation to pursue success and avoid failure) in medical college students, and to verify the partial mediating effect of psychological resilience in this relationship. Methods: A total of 2,691 medical college students in Jining were investigated by random whole cluster sampling, and assessed with Achievement Motivation Inventory (AMS), Chinese Perceived Stress Scale (CPSS) and Connor-Davidson Psychological Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10). The mediating effect was tested by Model IV of PROCESS plug-in in SPSS 27.0. Results: (1) Achievement motivation had no significant difference in demographic characteristics; psychological stress had significant differences in grade, gender, major preference and family annual income ( Conclusion: Perceived stress is directly negatively associated with college students' achievement motivation, and is also indirectly associated with it via the reduction of psychological resilience. Enhancing psychological resilience may buffer the negative association between stress and achievement motivation.
