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

backgroundThe present study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Lithuanian adaptation of the TEIQue-SF.

methodsThe analyses were performed using a sample of 199 preschool teachers (100% women; mean age = 46.70, SD = 11.70 years, age range = 21-69 years) from across Lithuania. The Teacher Subjective Wellbeing Questionnaire was also administered as an external validation measure. The reliability of the TEIQue-SF was assessed by Cronbach's α and McDonald's ω. Finally, we examined the relationship between sociodemographic characteristics and global trait emotional intelligence.

resultsConfirmatory factor analysis of the Lithuanian TEIQue-SF supported the one-factor structure of trait emotional intelligence (CFI = 0.99, TLI = 0.98, IFI = 0.99, RMSEA = 0.04, SRMR = 0.02). Good internal consistency was observed for global trait emotional intelligence (α = 0.85, ω = 0.84). Global trait emotional intelligence was significantly and positively associated with the teacher general well-being (β = 0.28), school connectedness (β = 0.26), and teaching efficacy (β = 0.28). Age was the only sociodemographic indicator positively related to global trait EI (β = 0.26).

conclusionsOur research showed that the Lithuanian version of the TEIQue-SF is a valid and reliable instrument to measure trait emotional intelligence and can be recommended for research and practical use.
