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

Pre-service Chinese as an additional language (CAL) teachers' beliefs can influence their teaching psychologies, behaviors, and career choices. This study thus aimed to explore the nature of pre-service CAL teachers' beliefs, thereby assisting educational institutions in better understanding their psychology. A questionnaire survey was conducted with 517 pre-service CAL teachers, and descriptive statistical analysis was used to investigate the overall characteristics of their beliefs. Independent sample t-tests and one-way analysis of variance were utilized to explore individual differences in pre-service CAL teachers' beliefs. Overall, the present study revealed that pre-service CAL teachers exhibit strong beliefs. Specifically, in comparison to other dimensional beliefs, their beliefs about career development (BCD) are moderate. Significant differences in BCD were observed among pre-service CAL teachers of different genders, ages, educational backgrounds, and teaching experiences. Based on the results of this study, future research could focus more on the individual characteristics of pre-service CAL teachers to further investigate the factors contributing to the individual differences in BCD. Additionally, this study provides insights into the cultivation of BCD among pre-service CAL teachers.
