The Impact of Perceived Teacher Emotional Support on Student Learning: A Meta-Analysis.
Review in Behavioral sciences (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Teacher emotional support (TES) has been widely recognized as an important factor influencing students' learning and development. However, empirical studies provide inconsistent evidence regarding the strength of the relationship between those two. The present meta-analysis, therefore, synthesized studies published between 2000 and 2025 to estimate the overall association between TES and three key dimensions: academic self-efficacy, student engagement, and academic achievement. Results revealed a significant positive association between TES and student learning. Specifically, TES demonstrated relatively stronger effects on academic self-efficacy (r = 0.463) and engagement (r = 0.456) than on academic achievement (r = 0.259). Moderator analyses further revealed variation by several contextual factors, including educational level and discipline, with strongest associations observed among higher education students and in language-related disciplines. The findings highlight the importance of emotionally supportive teacher-student relationships for the learning process. The meta-analytical results provide important implications for educational practice and policy.
