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

Background: First-aid education has been widely implemented in universities, with first-aid literacy serving as key evaluation indicators. Meaning in life (MIL) positively influences health awareness and prosocial behavior; however, its relationship with first-aid literacy remains insufficiently explored. This study investigated the association between meaning in life and safety and first-aid literacy among first-year undergraduate students and examined the mediating role of prior first-aid training times. Methods: A total of 4,723 first-year undergraduate students from a comprehensive university completed a social-factor questionnaire, the Meaning in Life Questionnaire, and the First-aid Literacy Questionnaire based on the Knowledge-Attitude-Practice model. After data cleaning, 4,708 valid responses were analyzed. Correlation and mediation analyses were conducted to assess relationships among variables. Results: Knowledge scores followed a left-skewed distribution, whereas skill scores were concentrated at moderate levels. MIL scores presented an overall upward distribution. Correlation analysis revealed significant associations among most variables ( Conclusion: Integrating MIL into first-aid education may enhance students' first-aid literacy. Promoting a balanced life-meaning orientation can improve training effectiveness, particularly with increased training exposure, supporting integrated psychological-health education models.
