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

Adolescents start to understand complex abstract concepts related to empathy and then engage in more costly prosocial behaviors. Positive teacher-student relationships, as the important environmental system, also promote adolescents' prosocial behaviors. Understanding whether positive teacher-student relationships can inspire adolescents to engage in more prosocial behaviors via empathy matters for improving social harmony. However, no study has systematically examined the relation between teacher-student relationships and prosocial behaviors at the within-person level, the mediating role of empathy between them, and the moderator of sex among these associations. More importantly, the examination of within-person relations would reveal the causal associations among these variables. Thus, framed in the developmental cascade perspective, the current study included 2407 Chinese adolescents (50.23% girl, M
