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

Although math anxiety (MA), math interest (MI), and math self-concept (SC) have been investigated separately in the literature, their simultaneous examination within a longitudinal framework remains limited. The present study investigated the longitudinal indirect effect of MI in the relationship between MA and SC, grounded in Control-Value Theory (CVT). A two-wave cross-lagged panel design was employed with a four-month measurement interval. The final analytic sample comprised 543 Turkish middle school students (Grades 6-8). Structural equation modeling (SEM) with 5000 bootstrap resamples was used to test the hypothesized indirect associations, with autoregressive controls included for all constructs. Measurement model fit was confirmed separately for each wave prior to structural estimation. Results indicated that MA at Time 1 negatively predicted both MI (β = -0.157,
