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

This study explores the link between Teacher Care Behavior (TCB) and English Learning Performance (ELP), examining a serial multiple mediation of English Learning Motivation (ELM), English learning Engagement (ELE), English Self-efficacy (ESE), and English learning Strategies (ELS). A questionnaire survey assessed these factors, with ELP based on CET-4 (College English test-band 4) scores. The serial multiple mediation model revealed TCB positively predicts ELP through two motivational-cognitive chains based on Self-Determination Theory (SDT) and Social Cognitive Theory (SCT). The SDT-driven motivational pathway is TCB → ELM→ELE → ELP and SCT-driven cognitive-efficacy pathway is TCB → ESE → ELS → ELP. These findings offer new insights into TCB and student psychological mechanisms in foreign language (FL) learning, providing a theoretical and practical basis for optimizing the learning environment and enhancing outcomes.
