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

objectivesAbundant evidence has demonstrated that positive interpersonal relationships promote children's learning engagement. However, most existing studies only focus on the role of one or two attachment relationships, and few studies examine the relationship between multiple positive interpersonal relationships from family and school environments and children's learning engagement. The purpose of this study is to simultaneously examine the effects of father-child and mother-child attachment from the family environment and teacher-student relationship and peer attachment from the school environment on learning engagement of Chinese boys and girls.

methodsParticipants (N = 702; 51.6% male, M

resultsThe results displayed that only mother-child attachment and teacher-student relationship significantly predicted boys' learning engagement. In addition, we also found that only teacher-student relationship and peer attachment positively predicted girls' learning engagement.

conclusionsOur findings highlight that teacher-student relationship promotes learning engagement in both boys and girls, and in addition, mother-child attachment from the family environment enhances boys' learning engagement and peer attachment from the school environment promotes girls' learning engagement. This study's results suggest that future attachment-based interventions aimed at contributing to children's academic development should focus on teacher-student relationships for both boys and girls, on mother-child relationships for boys, and on peer relationships for girls.
