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

Educational support is usually regarded as a protective resource for vulnerable students, particularly those learning under social, economic, or psychological disadvantage. Yet support may become psychologically costly when it is experienced as overprotective, intrusive, or competence undermining. Drawing on self-determination theory, social support theory, and resilience research, this study develops the support burden model, which proposes that educational support may become burdensome when it protects students in ways that reduce autonomy, threaten competence, and limit opportunities for adaptive coping. Using a two-wave prospective survey structure with a six-week interval, the study examined vulnerable university students at baseline and follow-up (T1
