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.
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: Academic resilience is an important psychological resource that enables university students to cope with academic challenges and persist in demanding learning environments. Drawing on Social Cognitive Theory, this study examined the combined roles of social support, self-efficacy, self-esteem, and motivation in predicting academic resilience among university students in the Yangtze River Delta region of China. Methods: A three-wave time-lagged design was employed, with data collected over three consecutive academic semesters from a final analytical sample of 2,609 undergraduate and postgraduate students from the provinces of Zhejiang, Shanghai, and Jiangsu. A three-wave time-lagged structural equation modelling approach was used to examine whether earlier social support and psychological resources were prospectively associated with later academic resilience, while controlling for age, gender, and education level. Results and discussion: The results indicated that self-efficacy was the strongest predictor of academic resilience, followed by motivation and social support, all of which showed significant positive effects. Self-esteem also showed a positive association overall, although its effect varied across regions. Among the control variables, age and education level were significantly associated with academic resilience, whereas gender was not significant in the general model. Regional analyses further revealed meaningful variations in the strength and significance of the predictors across provinces. These findings highlight the importance of integrating psychological and environmental resources within a unified theoretical framework and underscore the role of contextual factors in shaping academic resilience. The study contributes to the academic resilience literature by providing evidence of prospective, time-lagged associations among key psychological and contextual factors and by offering practical implications for designing targeted interventions to strengthen students' adaptive capacity in higher education.
