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

Piano proficiency is essential for pre-service preschool educators; nevertheless, numerous candidates begin teacher education programs with little prior experience, exhibiting poor self-efficacy and limited musical competencies required for effective teaching. This study seeks to examine the mechanism of how teacher support affects proficiency in piano skills among pre-service preschool educators. Four hundred thirty pre-service preschool teachers from a preschool teacher education program at a public normal university in Shanghai, China, completed the Teacher Support Questionnaire (MOCSE-TSQ), Attitudes Toward Musical Activities and Performance, and the Classroom Engagement Inventory in Music (CEI-M). The findings revealed a substantial positive link between teacher support and the proficiency in piano skills among pre-service preschool educators. Teacher support positively predicted piano ability levels via the chain-mediated effects of musical self-efficacy and learning engagement among pre-service preschool educators. The "Support-Feedback-Reflection" (SFR) cyclical development model was employed as an approach for improving the musical abilities of pre-service preschool teachers. These findings provide empirical information to guide curriculum development and pedagogical enhancements for piano courses targeting pre-service preschool educators.
