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

Introduction: Research on digital literacy has become deeply integrated into the field of teacher education, significantly influencing educational practices, including kindergarten education. For kindergarten teachers, possessing adequate digital literacy is essential for effectively conducting teaching activities and improving overall work efficiency. However, existing studies on digital literacy primarily focus on assessing individual teacher competency levels or conducting macro-level analyses of national policies. Methods: This study examines the correlation mechanism between digital resource allocation and the digital literacy of kindergarten teachers. The research sample includes 317 kindergarten teachers from southeastern China. Data were analyzed using SPSS 29.0 and Mplus 8.0. Results: The results reveal that digital resource allocation is significantly and positively correlated with kindergarten teachers' digital literacy. Moreover, both self-efficacy and learning motivation serve as mediating factors in this relationship. Notably, self-efficacy and learning motivation also form a chain mediation effect between digital resource allocation and digital literacy. Additionally, the direct effects of these factors on digital literacy, while present, are not significant. Discussion: These findings underscore the importance of digital resource allocation, self-efficacy, and learning motivation in enhancing digital literacy among kindergarten teachers. The study provides valuable insights for developing strategies to support and improve digital literacy in kindergarten teachers.
