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
This study aimed to develop and validate a self-report instrument-the Perceived Teacher Trust Behavior Scale (PTTBS)-to assess primary school students' perceptions of trust-related behaviors exhibited by their teachers. Adopting a child-centered perspective within the school context, we first conducted in-depth interviews and applied a grounded theory approach to identify dimensions and generate initial items. A cluster sampling method was used to recruit 1400 students (Grades 3~5) from three schools in Guizhou Province, China, who completed the questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed via exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis using SPSS 30.0 and Mplus8.10 software. The final version of the PTTBS consists of 13 items across four dimensions: Emotional Support, Competence Recognition, Academic Support, and Moral Recognition. The scale demonstrated excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.90) and split-half reliability (Spearman-Brown coefficient = 0.847). Significant correlations with an established Student-Teacher Relationship Scale were observed, along with good convergent validity (0.502~0.629) and construct validity. The PTTBS exhibits robust psychometric properties and serves as a valid tool for measuring Chinese primary school students' perceptions of teacher trust behaviors, suitable for both research and practical applications.
