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

Introduction: Relationships play an essential role in learning, particularly in peer relationships and the teacher-student relationship. Social-emotional competence, learning engagement, and teacher-student relationship can directly influence students' academic achievement. Methods: This study examines the relationship among these fac¬tors and explores how they collectively link to the engagement and academic achievement of 1,528 pre-service teachers in a normal university through Social Construction Theory. We analyzed the data using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Results: Findings revealed that all dimensions of social-emotional competence (self-relationship, interpersonal relationship, collective relationship, and responsible decision making) and the teacher-student relationship are associated with learning engagement. Two dimensions of social-emotional competence, collective relationship and responsible decision-making, are significantly correlated to academic achievement. Discussion: This study offers guidance and recommendations for pre-service teachers to enhance their overall growth in engagement and learning outcomes.
