Embarking on an academic career with online teaching: changes in self-efficacy and its sources.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 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
Introduction: Commencing teaching is overwhelming, and more so with transitions in teaching formats. Teacher self-efficacy (TSE), situated at the center of teacher motivation, can affect both teacher and student performance; however, it resists change once established in the initial stage. Therefore, it is essential to examine its flexibility and the sources that influence it in this period. Few studies have been conducted on the TSE of academics who embarked on their career with online teaching related to COVID-19. Methods: This mixed-method study examined changes in online teaching self-efficacy (OTSE) of 69 first-year academics measured at the beginning and end of online teaching during the lockdown retrospectively, out of whom four were interviewed for OTSE sources. Results: TSE for online teaching ( Discussion: Higher education institutions could explore strategies, including the provision of hands-on experience and gradually increasing early-stage workload to prepare their staff for innovative teaching contexts like online and blended teaching. Limitations and suggestions on future research are discussed.
