Exploration of factors affecting Australian students' mathematics grades: a multiple regression analysis based on PISA 2022 data.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: Currently, PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) Mathematics Grades worldwide is declining, while Australia students' performance shows an upward trend. To promote mathematics education in Australia and share educational experiences, this study explores factors that impact Australia's PISA mathematics grades significantly, and identifies ways to improve mathematics performance. Guided by Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory, this study develops a dual-layer nested ecosystem model, including home context, information resources, personal feature, school environment, math teaching and learning. Methods: Data is from PISA 2022 datasets. The independent variables are also divided into five categories according to the theoretical framework. There are 33 variables and 6,386 pieces of data. This study uses SPSS to conduct multiple regression analysis. In this study, predictors are categorized into five models, adding one influencing factor type to each model one by one. Results: The factors in model 5 explain 51.1% of math grade changes. Home context has the strongest explanatory power, it explains 19.9% math grade changes. Home possession (β = 0.304) and ESCS (β = 0.266) benefit math performance. Math teaching and learning explains 17.2% of math grade changes. Mathematics self-efficacy: Formal and applied mathematics (MATHEFF) is more influential (β = 0.376). Discussion: This study provides meaningful implications for identifying key determinants of mathematics education outcomes, informing evidence-based policy refinement, and enhancing instructional practice design. The findings offer actionable insights for stakeholders seeking to optimize mathematics learning ecosystems. To improve math achievement, Math education resource equity and scientific math teaching content are important.
