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: This study, based on self-determination theory, constructs a multilevel model to examine the impact of the professional competency of college physical education teachers (PCCPET) on students' motivation for physical education learning (SMPEL). Methods: Using sample data from 533 university students, structural equation modeling was applied to explore the influence of physical education teachers' professional competency on students' motivation. Results: The results indicate that the professional competency of college physical education teachers (PCCPET) has a significant positive effect on students' motivation for physical education learning (SMPEL). Additionally, teacher professional competency indirectly affects students' motivation through satisfying students' psychological needs satisfaction for physical education learning (PNSPEL), and this mediating effect is statistically significant. Finally, gender plays a significant moderating role between the professional competency of college physical education teachers (PCCPET) and students' motivation for physical education learning (SMPEL), with female students being more positively influenced by teacher professional competency. Discussion: Therefore, in future teaching practices, efforts should be made to enhance the professional competency of physical education teachers and ensure that teachers provide tailored instruction based on students' gender to effectively stimulate students' motivation for physical education learning.
