Uncovering the relationship between metacognitive ability and learning engagement using a moderated mediation model.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Learning engagement is a crucial factor influencing the quality of college students' learning. Research indicates that learning engagement is closely related to metacognitive ability, attention, and learning adaptability, but the mechanisms of interaction among these four factors remain unclear. This paper constructs a moderated mediation model to explore the direct effect of metacognitive ability on college students' learning engagement and the mediating effect of attention while examining the moderating effect of learning adaptability. A total of 349 college students participated in this study. The results indicate that (1) there are significant positive correlations between metacognitive ability, attention, learning adaptability, and learning engagement; (2) metacognitive ability has a direct effect on learning engagement; (3) attention partially mediates the relationship between metacognitive ability and learning engagement; and (4) learning adaptability moderates the relationship between metacognitive ability and attention, with the effect of metacognitive ability on attention being stronger in the high-learning adaptability group. These findings provide theoretical and practical guidance for enhancing college students' learning engagement.
