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
Objective: Empathy is the ability to adopt another person's perspective and experience the thoughts and emotions of that individual. A growing number of studies have shown that school-age children's empathy robustly contributes to their interpersonal communication, academic achievement and psychosocial adjustment. For school-age children, school becomes the main place for learning and socializing. The student-teacher relationship is an important interpersonal relationship between children and adults after they leave home, which plays an important role in the development of children's self-ability. However, the relationship between student-teacher relationship and children's empathy and its mechanisms are unclear. This study aimed to explore the influence of student-teacher relationship on school-age children's empathy, and the mediating roles of emotional intelligence. Methods: 468 school-age children (250 boys and 238 girls) aged 8-11 ( Results: The results showed that student-teacher relationship positively and directly predicted empathy for girls, but not for boys. In addition, we also found that emotional intelligence mediated the relationship between student-teacher relationship and children's empathy among both boys and girls. Conclusion: This study reveals the effect of student-teacher relationship on the school-age children's empathy, and the unique mediating role of emotional intelligence. Moreover, this study further reveals the different effects of student-teacher relationship on boys' and girls' empathy, emphasizing that positive student-teacher relationship can directly promote the development of girls' empathy. Finally, this study emphasizes that cultivating and improving the emotional intelligence of school-age children may be an effective way to promote the development of children's empathy.
