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

backgroundAccording to the Self-Determination Theory, satisfaction of basic psychological needs for relatedness, competence and autonomy is a necessary basis of motivational self-regulation in students. Supportive academic contexts are expected to satisfy these basic needs.

aimsWe aimed to explore the mediating effect of motivational self-regulation strategies in the relationships between the provisions of emotional support, guidance and reassurance of worth from peers and academic achievement in adolescents. SAMPLE AND

methodsA total of 463 students enrolled in compulsory secondary education were recruited for the study. The students completed self-report measures of perceived social support and motivational self-regulation strategies, and their academic grades were noted. The data obtained were examined by regression mediational analysis.

resultsOverall, peer support had a significant effect on self-regulated motivation. Several motivational regulation strategies had a mediating effect on the relationship between perceived support from peers and academic achievement.

conclusionsConsidering the nature of the mediational strategies, peers seem to encourage autonomous types of regulation and address the lack of motivation in students. Thus, in the light of our findings, peer support must be considered in creating a classroom climate that is conducive to engagement and learning.
