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
The current system for training educational managers in Kazakhstan remains focused on technical and administrative skills, which is inadequate in the context of digital transformation and the age of artificial intelligence. There is a research gap regarding the integration of sustainable social development and new pedagogical models, socio-formation pedagogy, into the management education system. The purpose of this study is to develop a structural-functional model of education that will facilitate the development of professional competencies in future educational managers. The methodology employed includes analysis, modeling, and a quasi-experimental approach, incorporating quantitative analysis of changes in student competencies before and after completing the course. The sample consisted of 150 fourth-year students from three Kazakhstani universities specializing in educational management and related fields. Data were collected using a Likert-type questionnaire and analyzed using the Student's t-test and other statistical methods to assess the significance of the changes. The results demonstrated that students' skills significantly improved across all three categories following the implementation of the model. Digital competency increased by 3.2-4.5 points, which was attributed to the active use of digital tools (p < 0.001, t = 10.5). Strategic thinking also improved, albeit at a less significant level (3.1-4.3 points, p < 0.001, t = 9.8), which can be explained by the need for experience and additional learning time to acquire strategic planning skills. Intercultural competencies, essential for working in a globalized educational environment, grew by 3.0-4.2 points (p < 0.001, t = 11.0) due to international online meetings where students interacted with peers from other cultures. The proposed model addresses existing research gaps by integrating the concepts of sustainable social development and social design into management skills training. Its implementation contributes to the development of educational leaders capable of ethical leadership, critical thinking, and effective management of educational transformations.
