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
Introduction: Creativity is a fundamental driver of economic growth and societal transformation. The development of creativity can be viewed as a function of the dynamic interplay between environmental contingencies and individual dispositions. Research has explored the association between perceived parenting styles and creativity, but few studies have focused on the mediating pathways that explain this relationship. The aim of this study is to examine whether self-efficacy and psychological resilience play a mediating role between perceived parenting styles and creativity. Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted among 750 Chinese college students using convenience sampling from March to May 2025. Data were collected using the Egna Minnen Beträffande Uppfostran (EMBU), the General Self-efficacy Scale (GSES), the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) and the William Creativity Assessment Test (WCAT). Correlation analysis and mediation tests were performed using SPSS 22.0 and PROCESS macro 3.3 with bias-corrected bootstrap confidence intervals (5000 resamples) to test indirect effects. Results: Correlation analysis revealed significant relationships among perceived parenting styles, self-efficacy, psychological resilience, and creativity. Further mediation analysis revealed that perceived parenting styles were associated with college students' creativity through three indirect pathways: via self-efficacy, via psychological resilience, and via both sequentially. Discussion: This study concludes that perceived parenting styles are directly associated with college students' creativity, and are also indirectly associated with it through the mediating roles of self-efficacy and psychological resilience, as well as through their chain mediating role. These findings identify self-efficacy and psychological resilience as potential targets for future research on creativity enhancement in college students.
