Teacher efforts towards the development of students' mathematical reasoning skills.
Article in Heliyon, 2023. 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
Research shows that improved mathematical reasoning results in improved conceptual understanding and the application of mathematical knowledge to a variety of real-world contexts. The assessment of teacher efforts to help students develop their mathematical reasoning, however, and the identification of classroom practices that encourage this growth have received less attention in previous studies. A descriptive survey was conducted with 62 mathematics teachers from six randomly chosen public secondary schools in one district. Lesson observations were carried out in six randomly selected grade 11 classrooms from all participating schools to supplement teachers' questionnaire replies. Results show that more than 53% of the teachers believed that they had been making enormous efforts towards the development of students' mathematical reasoning skills. Nonetheless, some teachers were not found to be as supportive of students' mathematical reasoning as they believed they were. Additionally, the teachers did not leverage all of the opportunities that arose during instruction to support students' mathematical reasoning. These results show the need for greater professional development opportunities geared towards orienting both in-service and prospective teachers on useful teaching strategies for fostering students' mathematical reasoning.
