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
Introduction: Social-Emotional Competence is regarded as a core ability necessary for individual development in the 21st century, playing a significant role in improving students' academic performance and promoting social development. As key guides to student development, teachers play an important role in cultivating children's social-emotional competence. This study aims to explore the impact of teacher care on students' social-emotional competence and its underlying mechanism. Methods: A moderated mediation model was constructed based on the 2013-2014 data from the China Education Panel Survey (CEPS), the most recent nationally representative dataset available for this type of analysis. Using data on teacher care, teacher-student relationship, social-emotional competence, migration status, and relevant covariates, a total of 12,319 valid samples were analyzed through descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, mediation effect test, and moderated mediation analysis. Results: Teacher care positively predicted social-emotional competence, teacher-student relationship partially mediated the relationship between teacher care and social-emotional competence. Analysis of simple moderation effects suggests that students' migration status moderated the relationship between teacher care and teacher-student relationship. Discussion: These findings highlight the critical role of enhancing teachers' caring behaviors and fostering positive teacher-student relationships in improving adolescents' social-emotional competence. This study holds significant practical implications for promoting the harmonious physical and mental health development of middle school students.
