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
Aligning with the Philippine Commission on Higher Education's mission to produce socially responsible and civically active graduates, this study examined college students' academic experiences in relation to social capital, educational justice, student empowerment, institutional trust, and civic engagement.

Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed to examine the relationships among the identified constructs. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to assess the direct and indirect mediating effects of student empowerment and institutional trust on civic engagement. The findings revealed acceptable levels of agreement across all constructs, with institutional trust obtaining the highest mean score (
