Influencing Factors of Math Anxiety Among Elementary School Students.

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
Math anxiety, or a student's lack of confidence in learning mathematics, is one of the emotional dimensions with the greatest impact on mathematics education. Sociological factors such as sex and age, demographic aspects like cultural characteristics, and emotional variables such as general anxiety have been identified as significantly influencing math anxiety. This study conducts quantitative, descriptive, correlational, and regression analyses of the influence of sex, age, and general anxiety on math anxiety in a sample of 185 Spanish elementary students. It also examines whether the effects of age and general anxiety on math anxiety differ by sex. For this purpose, students' responses to a quantitative questionnaire are analyzed. The instrument combines two validated scales: (i) STAIC T-Anxiety, measuring general anxiety, and (ii) AMAS, measuring math anxiety. Results show that students exhibit moderate average math anxiety, which is not significantly affected by sex. However, significant correlations between math anxiety, age, and general anxiety were found, independent of sex. The study highlights the need to design corrective measures for math anxiety and suggests lines for future research.
