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
Under the "New Medical Science" initiative, the educational assessment system in medical colleges and universities is facing structural issues, such as an overemphasis on quantifiable indicators that neglects students' learning processes and outcomes, and a lack of in-depth evaluation of innovative capabilities and interdisciplinary comprehensive application skills. Enhancing students' initiative and literacy in participating in assessment, and promoting the diversification and scientific design of assessment mechanisms, have become core demands for adapting to educational assessment reform in the new era. Integrating the Theory of Planned Behavior and Self-efficacy Theory, this paper explores the relationships and interaction mechanisms among subjective norms, self-efficacy, assessment literacy, and willingness to participate in assessment. Using a stratified random sample of 248 second- to fourth-year medical students from Kangda College, Nanjing Medical University, the study employs correlation analysis, regression analysis, and mediation testing. The results show that subjective norms, self-efficacy, and assessment literacy are significantly and positively associated with students' willingness to participate in assessment. Furthermore, assessment literacy plays a partial mediating role in the impact paths of subjective norms and self-efficacy on assessment willingness. Notably, the mediating effect is slightly stronger in the self-efficacy pathway than in the subjective norms pathway, suggesting a resource-gain spiral mechanism. Targeted recommendations are proposed accordingly: focusing on assessment literacy to strengthen the cultivation of students' assessment capabilities; expanding students' opportunities for assessment participation based on accumulated experience; clarifying responsibilities to create a conducive ecosystem for academic assessment; and optimizing the construction of the academic assessment system by leveraging the effectiveness of assessment practices.
