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

backgroundSustainability has become an important consideration in the twenty-first century, with physical education contributing to students' cognitive, affective, and psychomotor development. Physical education teachers can promote sustainable lifestyles through their teaching practices. This study examines the relationship between intrapersonal and interpersonal mindfulness and sustainability competencies (social, economic, and environmental dimensions), along with the moderating role of demographic variables.

methodsData were collected from 852 physical education teachers in Turkey. Structural equation modeling and moderator analysis were used to analyze the relationships between mindfulness and sustainability competencies, and the moderating effects of gender, education level, and school level.

resultsIntrapersonal mindfulness showed a stronger association with sustainability competencies than interpersonal mindfulness. Demographic variables moderated this relationship, with female teachers, high school teachers, and those with postgraduate education exhibiting stronger links between mindfulness and sustainability competencies.

conclusionsThe findings suggest that mindfulness can support teachers in promoting sustainability. Professional development programs should consider integrating mindfulness training. Further research is needed to explore the relationship between mindfulness and sustainability in education and its implications for the Sustainable Development Goals.
