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

Instructional innovation is essential for preparing schools for the future and nurturing innovative talent. This study, grounded in vision communication theory, examines how principal visionary leadership contributes to teachers' instructional innovation through psychological and organizational mechanisms. Survey data from 813 teachers in China were analyzed using structural equation modeling and bootstrapping. Results indicate that visionary leadership directly predicts instructional innovation and indirectly influences it through teacher workplace well-being and collaboration, with well-being exerting the strongest mediating effect. Furthermore, a chain pathway was identified: visionary leadership enhances teachers' workplace well-being, which fosters greater collaboration and ultimately promotes innovation. These findings extend research on teacher innovation, provide cross-cultural evidence of visionary leadership's effects, and suggest that school leaders can promote sustainable innovation by enhancing vision communication, cultivating a supportive school culture, and integrating teacher well-being with formal and informal collaboration structures.
