From motivation to communicative readiness in blended CSL: academic emotions and academic self-efficacy as theory-specified indirect pathways.

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
Many learners of Chinese can complete classroom tasks and demonstrate formal knowledge, yet remain reluctant to use Chinese when communication becomes socially visible. This study examined how learning motivation is associated with L2 willingness to communicate (WTC) among international students enrolled in blended Chinese as a second language (CSL) programs. Drawing on the L2 WTC framework, control-value theory, and self-efficacy theory, the study specified a theory-informed indirect-association model in which academic emotions and academic self-efficacy link motivation with communicative readiness. Survey data were collected from 956 international students in Chinese-language programs at eight universities in China. Measures covered learning motivation, positive academic emotions, negative academic emotions, academic self-efficacy, and L2 WTC. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling with 5,000 bootstrap resamples were used to evaluate the measurement structure and the proposed indirect pathways. The structural model fitted the data well,
