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

Purpose: The teaching practicum constitutes a pivotal stage in the preparation of preservice physical education teachers (PPETs), during which their experiences exert a profound influence on the formation and development of teacher identity (TI). This study explored the relationship between PPETs' TI and their interactions with cooperating teachers during the practicum, drawing on Interaction Ritual Chain (IRC) theory as an interpretive framework. Methods: A total of 994 physical education student teachers (552 males, 58.5%; 392 females, 41.5%) participated in the study. Both cooperating teacher-student teacher interactions and TI were measured through standardized questionnaires. The data analysis involved two stages: Pearson's correlation was first employed to identify bivariate associations between the dimensions of cooperating teacher-student interactions and PPETs' TI. Subsequently, multiple regression analyses were performed to determine the extent to which specific interaction dimensions predicted TI. Results: Analyses showed that cooperating teacher-student teacher interactions were positively correlated with and significantly predicted TI. Shared activities, bodily co-presence, and emotional resonance emerged as key factors, while a supportive interactive climate and diverse approaches further promoted PPETs' TI development. Conclusion: These findings suggest that the quality of cooperating teacher-student teacher interactions play a crucial role in fostering PPETs' TI.
