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: This study investigates the mechanisms through which teachers' emotional support influences college students' adaptation, focusing on the chain mediating roles of intrinsic goals and psychological need satisfaction, grounded in Self-Determination Theory (SDT). Methods: A stratified cluster sampling approach was used to collect data from 632 undergraduate students across China. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was conducted for construct validity, and mediation analyses were performed using Hayes' PROCESS macro (Model 6). Results: (1) Teachers' emotional support significantly and positively predicts college students' adaptation ( Discussion: These findings provide empirical evidence for the internalization process of external support, suggesting teachers' emotional scaffolding primarily aids adaptation by fostering intrinsic aspirations that subsequently fulfill students' basic psychological needs.
