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

Introduction: In the current educational context, student engagement serves as a key indicator of both teaching quality and overall educational effectiveness in senior high school education. Methods: This study employed structural equation modeling to analyze the self-report questionnaire data from 314 Chinese senior high school students, aiming to examine the relationship between perceived teacher support and student engagement in English classrooms as well as the mediating role of learning motivation (intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation). Results: The results indicate that perceived teacher support, learning motivation, and student engagement in English learning are generally moderate to high. There is a positive correlation between teacher support, learning motivation, and student engagement. Teacher support significantly predicts student engagement yet learning motivation plays a mediating role in this relationship, with intrinsic motivation having a greater mediating effect than extrinsic motivation. Discussion: These findings provide valuable insights into how teacher support influences student motivation and engagement, offering practical strategies for improving instructional approaches in senior high school English education.
