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

Objective: This study examined the associations among mindful attention awareness, cognitive flexibility, creative trait motivation, and achievement goal orientation in medical students by employing two complementary analytical strategies: a variable-centered approach and a person-centered approach. Methods: A cross-sectional survey design was adopted. Between December 2025 and February 2026, 460 participants were recruited via convenience sampling from three medical schools in Sichuan Province, China. The assessment instruments comprised the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale, the Creative Trait Motivation Scale, the Cognitive Flexibility Scale, and the Achievement Goal Orientation Scale. Results: Mindful attention awareness was positively correlated with cognitive flexibility ( Conclusion: The findings suggest that cognitive flexibility and creative trait motivation may be statistically involved in theory-informed indirect pathways between mindful attention awareness and academic goal-related functioning.
