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

Background: Environmental crises, on the one hand, and the impact of environmental protection education from childhood, on the other hand, have focused on the need for environmental education in early life, which tries to teach the concept that humans can live in harmony with nature. Therefore, this study aims to identify environmental education strategies for children with an emphasis on children under four years old in Iran. Methods: The study was conducted using a qualitative method and through interviews with 14 experts and practitioners with ability and knowledge in environmental education for children. The text of the interviews was analyzed using the content analysis technique and MAXQDA-2018 software. Results: Based on the study results, 216 codes were presented in the form of 15 subcategories and five main categories. The results showed that child empowerment, indirect education of the child, production of relevant content and reviewing existing content, environment-oriented socialization, and creating appropriate infrastructure are basic strategies for teaching the environment to children. Conclusion: it is necessary to revise policies, interventions, and educational programs. For education to be effective for children, it is better to provide suitable conditions in both the individual and structural dimensions and the education should be done indirectly. Additionally, promoting a positive attitude towards the environment through the design and implementation of community programs can be beneficial.
