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
Aim: This study aimed to examine the mediating role of academic self-concept in the relationship between teacher support and academic achievement, as well as the moderating role of academic anxiety in the relationships between teacher support and both academic self-concept and academic achievement. Sample: This cross-sectional study involved 2,239 boarding junior high school students (1,132 boys, 1,161 girls; M Methods: Teacher support was measured using the Perceived Teacher Support subscale of the School Climate Scale; academic self-concept was assessed with the General Academic Self-Concept Scale; academic achievement was indexed by students' self-reported class rank; and academic anxiety was evaluated using the Academic Anxiety subscale of the Academic Emotions Questionnaire. Results: The findings revealed that academic self-concept and it's four dimensions mediated the relationship between teacher support and academic achievement ( Conclusion: Although the sample of this study comes from boarding schools in specific provinces of China, which may limit the generalizability of the findings, this study highlights the significant impact of teacher support on academic achievement and underscores the importance of academic self-concept and academic anxiety in influencing these outcomes. This enhances our understanding and offers insights for re-examining classic theories such as social cognitive theory and cognitive resource theory.
