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: This study aims to examine the impact of career planning clarity on learning engagement among university students, and to investigate the chain mediating roles of self-efficacy and learning motivation in this relationship. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted among 825 university students using the Career Planning Scale, the General Self-Efficacy Scale, and the Learning Motivation Scale. Results: (1) Career planning clarity, self-efficacy, learning motivation, and learning engagement were significantly positively correlated with each other; (2) Career planning clarity positively predicted learning engagement; (3) Both self-efficacy and learning motivation independently mediated the relationship between career planning clarity and learning engagement. Furthermore, the chain mediating effect of self-efficacy and learning motivation was also significant.
