Academic performance and college students' subjective well-being.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Academic performance stands as a pivotal metric for schools in evaluating the proficiency of students, and it serves as a targeted objective for students to strive for. Based on the survey data of 327 undergraduate students, this paper empirically examines the association between college students' academic performance and their subjective well-being. The results show that the average subjective well-being of college students is situated in the lower mid-range, with an observable tendency toward decline over time. The subjective well-being of college students is associated with both their absolute and relative grade point average (GPA). Specifically, the higher the GPA, the stronger students' subjective well-being. However, students' subjective well-being will be significantly reduced if their GPA is ranked lower. The association between academic performance and college students' subjective well-being exhibits heterogeneity across gender, grade and place of origin. Specifically, the association between academic performance and subjective well-being is more pronounced among females and low-grade students than that of males and high-grade students, but dose not significantly differ by place of origin. We additionally find several other factors that affect students' subjective well-being: joining school clubs, liking their majors, being extroverted and maintaining good health also significantly improves students' subjective well-being. Given the cross-sectional design and single-institution sample, these findings should be interpreted as associational rather than causal.
