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: The development of social-emotional competence has not only become a focus of international attention, but also emerged as a hotspot in current educational psychology research and policy practice worldwide. This study examines the impact of dance learning on social-emotional competence, with a specific focus on the mediating role of psychological resilience and the moderating role of a supportive climate. Methods: Using an empirical research approach, a cross-sectional survey was conducted among 2,077 university students with 1 year of dance learning experience from 30 higher education institutions across 15 provinces in China. A moderated mediation model was tested using stepwise regression and the PROCESS bootstrap method. Results: Psychological resilience played a partial mediating role in the relationship between dance learning and social-emotional competence. Supportive climate positively moderated the effects of dance learning on both psychological resilience and social-emotional competence; however, dance learning exerted a significant positive impact on social-emotional competence only in a highly supportive climate. Furthermore, supportive climate positively moderated the indirect effect of dance learning on social-emotional competence through psychological resilience, indicating that the stronger the supportive climate, the more pronounced this indirect effect became. Conclusion: Establishing a teaching system that cultivates social-emotional competence and achieving its curricular integration has become an urgent need in talent development. This study provides empirical support and practical insights for the assertion that dance teaching is positively associated with the development of college students' social and emotional abilities. These implications not only expand our theoretical understanding of the educational functions of dance art but also offer a scientific basis for educational and instructional reforms at a practical level.
