The impact of individual unfair treatment on their evaluation to government performance: the chain mediating effect of social trust and life satisfaction.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 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
Background: Government performance evaluation serves as a critical measure of governmental work. Individuals play a pivotal role in evaluating government performance. Their perceptions and assessments of government performance hold significant guiding implications for optimizing and adjusting governmental operations as well as planning objectives. Methods: Based on the 2016 China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) dataset, this study examined 13,410 residents to explore the influence mechanism of individual experiences of unfair treatment on government performance evaluation and assessed the chain mediating role of social trust and life satisfaction. Pearson correlation analysis and a sequential multiple mediation model were employed to examine the relationships among the variables. Results: Individual experiences of unfair treatment predicted negatively their evaluation of the government performance. Furthermore, social trust and life satisfaction play a chain mediating role between unfair treatment and the evaluation of government performance. Conclusion: The study shows that individuals' experiences of unfairness can undermine social trust and reduce life satisfaction, which in turn diminishes the evaluation of government performance.
