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

Emotional intelligence (EI) and its meta-cognitive counterpart, meta-emotional intelligence (MEI), have increasingly been recognized as key factors in helping students understand, regulate, and reflect on their emotional experiences. MEI expands upon EI by incorporating meta-cognitive beliefs and awareness about one's own emotional functioning, thereby influencing both emotional regulation and positive behavioral choices. This study examined the relationship between MEI and the knowledge of positive behavioral rules among 198 students aged 9 to 12. Participants completed the IE-ACCME-B, which assesses meta-emotional beliefs, emotional self-conceptualization, and emotional abilities, along with the PBIS-KGVE, a tool developed ad hoc to measure knowledge, generalization, and value-based understanding of school rules. Findings highlight that almost all considered variables are intercorrelated, with meta-emotional beliefs being the best predictor of the students' knowledge, generalization, and value-based interpretation of behavioral rules. These results suggest the opportunity to establish interventions focused on meta-emotional beliefs to enhance behavioral rule knowledge and foster prosocial development within educational contexts.
