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
backgroundNursing students face significant psychological challenges, with general self-efficacy (GSE) serving as a critical protective factor. Although family socioeconomic status (SES) and family relationship quality (FRQ) have been linked to GSE, their underlying pathways and the moderating role of institution type (vocational vs. undergraduate colleges) remain unclear. This study aimed to examine the association between SES and GSE among nursing students, focusing on FRQ as a mediator and institution type as a moderator.
methodsA cross-sectional survey of 1461 nursing students from two Chinese medical institutions was conducted. SES was derived from five socioeconomic indicators using principal component analysis. FRQ was constructed as a latent variable from three observed items using confirmatory factor analysis. GSE was measured using the General Self-Efficacy Scale. Mediation and moderated mediation analyses were performed using PROCESS macros.
resultsSES was positively associated with GSE (B = 0.313, p = 0.004). FRQ partially mediated the relationship between SES and GSE in the total sample (β = 0.060, 95% CI [0.009, 0.115]). However, this mediation was only significant among undergraduates (β = 0.118, 95% CI [0.043, 0.201]) and not among vocational students (β = -0.005, 95% CI [-0.060, 0.051]). Institution type moderated both the direct effect of SES on GSE and the indirect effect via FRQ, with stronger associations among undergraduate students. Specifically, simple slope test showed that SES was associated with GSE among undergraduates (β = 0.455, 95% CI [0.191, 0.720]) but not among vocational students (β = 0.021, 95% CI [-0.324, 0.367]).
conclusionsFamily SES was positively associated with nursing students' GSE directly and indirectly via FRQ, and these associations were stronger among undergraduate than among vocational students. These findings suggest that considering both family resources and educational context may be useful when designing targeted interventions to foster GSE among nursing students.
