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

English proficiency is positively associate with students' global competence. However, the mechanism underlying the relationship remains unclear. To address this gap, drawing upon social cognitive theory, intercultural sensitivity theory, and self-determination theory, this study examined the mediating role of intercultural sensitivity and the moderating role of English learning motivation in the relationship between English proficiency and global competence among undergraduates enrolled in Sino-Foreign Cooperation Programmes (SFCPs). A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 420 undergraduates from specific SFCP institutions, and the data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Results revealed that English proficiency was positively associated with global competence (β = 0.427,
