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

Online teaching has become a cornerstone of educational continuity in the era of digital education. However, sustaining teacher engagement in online teaching persists as a critical barrier to teacher sustainability. This study aims to investigate how institutional support enhances teachers' work engagement through digital self-efficacy and negative emotions in online teaching. Participants were 232 K-12 teachers from different schools in China. A structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to confirm the initial model hypotheses regarding the relationship between variables. The findings show that institutional support is positively related to teacher work engagement, with digital self-efficacy and negative emotions as significant mediators. Finally, implications for educational administrators and teachers were discussed, with a focus on the importance of focused interventions that address teachers' emotional and technological needs to improve their work engagement in online teaching.
