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

With the United Nations' 2030 Agenda elevating Good Health and Well-Being (SDG 3) and Quality Education (SDG 4) to global priorities, music education, by virtue of its cross-cultural character and emotional resonance, is increasingly recognized as a potential pathway for fostering adolescents' sustainable development competencies. Seventy-six core publications were retrieved from the Web of Science, MEDLINE, and ProQuest databases, and bibliometric and knowledge-mapping analyses were conducted using CiteSpace and VOSviewer. The field's trajectory was deconstructed along three dimensions: temporal (annual publication output and author contribution levels), spatial (national participation and institutional collaboration density), and content (high-frequency keyword clustering and evolution of emerging themes). Findings reveal a two-stage "hiatus-surge" pattern in publication trends; the emergence of a collaborative network among core authors, albeit with an imbalanced geographic distribution dominated by North America and Europe; and five principal thematic clusters following a three-stage spiral progression-from targeted education interventions for special groups, through general adolescent development, to professional public-health services. Through a sustainable development-oriented, multidimensional evaluation framework and a standardized literature-review paradigm, multifaceted mechanisms by which music education enhances adolescents' subjective well-being are uncovered, and evidence-based recommendations for sustainable education reform are provided (PROSPERO Registration ID: CRD420251030162).
