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

While self-compassion buffers stress, the longitudinal cognitive mechanisms supporting academic buoyancy under high-pressure educational systems remain unclear. A three-wave design tracked 856 Chinese adolescents (mean age = 15.43 years, SD = 0.62, 51.9% female) from nine Hong Kong secondary schools. A random-intercept cross-lagged panel model partitioned traits from within-person fluctuations. At the between-person level, stable individual differences in self-compassion, adaptive beliefs about failure, and academic buoyancy were positively correlated. At the within-person level, temporary positive deviations in self-compassion prospectively predicted increased adaptive beliefs about failure, which sequentially predicted enhanced academic buoyancy. These findings suggest that naturally occurring within-person fluctuations in self-compassion are associated with adaptive setback evaluations, supporting cognitive reframing.
