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

To date, limited research has systematically explored the interconnections between perceived teacher support, self-concept, engagement, and academic achievement specifically regarding the reading domain. Most previous studies have been conducted in Western cultures, making it difficult to extrapolate the findings to Eastern cultures, such as China. Therefore, this study investigated the relationship between perceived teacher support, reading self-concept, reading engagement, and reading literacy in a Chinese educational context. A structural equation modeling analysis was conducted using 12,058 Chinese students from the Programme for International Student Assessment 2018 data. The results revealed that perceived teacher support did not directly affect students' reading literacy. However, it could indirectly affect reading literacy through the independent mediation effects of reading self-concept and reading engagement as well as their chain mediation effect. Hence, the results suggest that perceived teacher support can increase students' sense of reading self-concept, resulting in greater reading engagement, which may lead to improved reading achievement.
