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
Objective: This study examined the relationship between student leadership and social and emotional competence among higher vocational students, and explored the mediating roles of teacher-student interaction, peer interaction, and learning engagement. Methods: Survey data were collected from 1,895 higher vocational students in Hubei Province, China. Propensity score matching was used to reduce observable selection bias between students with and without leadership roles, and bootstrap mediation analyses were used to test the indirect pathways. Results: Students holding leadership roles reported higher social and emotional competence than matched students without leadership roles. Teacher-student interaction, peer interaction, and learning engagement all showed significant mediating roles, with learning engagement showing the largest indirect effect. Conclusion: Student leadership is positively associated with higher vocational students' social and emotional competence. The findings suggest that leadership roles may function not only as symbolic status, but also as role practice involving communication, coordination, and engagement.
