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
The study recommended implementing teacher-led, face-to-face interactive read-aloud activities with children's picture books to support students with high reading anxiety and negative attitudes toward reading. The study employed an action research design and included a sample of 32 second-grade primary school students. The students participated in a 13-week interactive read-aloud program designed to address reading anxiety and reading attitudes. Picture storybooks were used as instructional materials throughout the intervention. The students' reading anxiety was measured with the Reading Anxiety Scale, while their reading attitudes were assessed using the "Garfield" Visual Reading Attitude Scale for Grades 1-6. In addition, process-oriented qualitative data were obtained through a researcher's journal. Statistical analyses revealed that (1) second-grade students' reading anxiety scores decreased significantly after participation in the interactive reading program, (2) their reading attitude scores became significantly more positive, and (3) the qualitative findings indicated that the students developed positive experiential responses during the interactive reading process.
