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

backgroundThe purpose of this study was to apply the Predisposing, Reinforcing, and Enabling Constructs in Educational Diagnosis and Evaluation (PRECEDE) model to analyze the factors influencing preschool educators' ability to teach health education through life skills.

methodsThis cross-sectional study utilized stratified random sampling and administered survey questionnaires to 503 preschool educators in public and private kindergartens in Taipei City and New Taipei City in 2019. Descriptive and hierarchical regression analyses were conducted. The PRECEDE model demonstrated a significant correlation between the enabling, reinforcing, and predisposing factors explored in this study and the preschool educators' ability to teach health education through life skills.

resultsThe variables explained 25% of the total variance in the ability to teach health education through life skills. When controlled in individual layers, the background variables and the enabling, reinforcing, and predisposing factors demonstrated explanatory powers of 6, 5, 7, and 7%, respectively, with respect to the ability to teach health education by utilizing life skills.

conclusionsEnhancement of the enabling, reinforcing, and predisposing factors can improve preschool educators' ability to teach health education through life skills. The support provided by the governmental policies for related training can facilitate the effective implementation of health promotion programs in kindergartens. Preschool educators must also receive on-the-job training to facilitate the effective transaction of the health education curriculum. Health classes centered on life skills in kindergartens are vital and must be incorporated into the curricula.
