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: Feedback improves learning when students can interpret evaluative information, justify reasoning, monitor progress against explicit criteria, diagnose errors, and implement targeted revisions in classroom dialogue. This study tested whether school guidance support fosters growth in mathematics discourse feedback skills through motivational and behavioral mechanisms. Methods: We used a three-wave longitudinal design with Chinese senior high school students. School guidance support was assessed at T1, major decision-making self-efficacy at T2, feedback literacy behavior at T3, and mathematics discourse feedback skills at all waves. Longitudinal measurement invariance was established for the outcome. Hypotheses were evaluated with structural equation modeling that controlled for prior levels of the outcome and demographic covariates. Missing data were handled with full-information maximum likelihood, and indirect effects were tested with bias-corrected bootstrapping. Results: School guidance support predicted later mathematics discourse feedback skills both directly and indirectly. Indirect effects emerged Discussion: Findings integrate social cognitive, feedback literacy, and self-regulated learning perspectives by specifying how school-level supports translate into domain-specific competencies. Practically, the results suggest a design principle for secondary schools: strengthen decision-making self-efficacy early, engineer routine opportunities to seek, interpret, and apply feedback, and then assess discourse-based reasoning and revision as proximal indicators of skill growth.
