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

Although visual arts engagement is widely regarded as beneficial for psychological health, more frequent participation may not always correspond to more favorable outcomes. This cross-sectional survey identified latent profiles of visual arts engagement among 586 Chinese non-art-major university students and examined their associations with subjective well-being, psychological distress, and emotion regulation. Latent profile analysis was based on four engagement dimensions: active creation, receptive appreciation, digital engagement, and social/learning involvement. Profile differences were tested using Welch's ANOVA, Games-Howell
