Influence of mentors' innovation support on postgraduates' proactive innovation behavior: the chain-mediating role of innovation efficacy and creative process engagement.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Objective: Postgraduates are the reserve force of national innovation-driven development, and enhancing postgraduates' proactive innovation behavior has become the focus of higher education reform. This study focuses on the influence of mentors' innovation support on postgraduates' proactive innovation behavior and analyzes the internal conduction mechanism of innovation efficacy and creative process engagement. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted on 1200 postgraduates by a random sampling method, and data were collected using the mentors' innovation support scale, proactive innovation behavior scale, innovation efficacy scale, and creative process engagement scale. Amos 24.0 and SPSS 26.0 statistical software were used to carry out correlation analysis and the chained mediation effect tests sequentially. Results: There is a significant correlation between mentors' innovation support, innovation efficacy, creative process engagement, and postgraduates' proactive innovation behavior. There are significant mediation effects and chain mediation effects between mentors' innovation support and postgraduates' proactive innovation behavior, in which the mediation effect of innovation efficacy is stronger than the mediation effect of creative process engagement and the chain mediation effect between the two. Conclusion: There is a relationship between mentors' innovation support and postgraduates' proactive innovation behavior, and this relationship is partially realized through the mediating effect of innovation efficacy and creative process engagement.
