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

aimThis study examined the mediating role of psychological capital between two-way social support and academic resilience among undergraduate nursing students.

methodsThis cross-sectional study used convenience sampling to conduct a questionnaire survey among 1256 undergraduate nursing students in China in December 2022. The College Student Academic Resilience Scale, the Two-way Social Support Scale, and the Positive Psychological Capital Scale were used to collect the research data. To examine complex relationships among variables, correlation analysis and structural equation modeling were applied. The sample size met structural equation modeling requirements, and the bootstrap method was used to test the mediating effect of psychological capital and its 95% confidence interval.

resultsTwo-way social support positively predicted psychological capital (β = 0.792, 95% CI [0.657, 0.927], p < .001), which in turn positively predicted academic resilience (β = 0.869, 95% CI [0.814, 0.924], p < .001). No direct effect was found between two-way social support and academic resilience (β = -0.005, 95% CI [-0.107, 0.097], p = .903). Psychological capital fully mediated this relationship with a significant indirect effect (β = 0.688, 95% CI [0.638, 0.726], p < .001).

conclusionPsychological capital fully mediates how two-way social support enhances academic resilience. Integrating psychological capital development and structured social support into nursing education may effectively promote student resilience.
