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

backgroundChildren's numeracy interest is increasingly recognized as an important affective dimension of early mathematical development. However, to the best of my knowledge, no empirical study has directly examined the association between parental math involvement and children's numeracy interest in Türkiye, and no validated Turkish-language instrument for assessing this construct has been reported. This study aimed to adapt the Children's Numeracy Interest Scale into Turkish and examine whether parental math involvement predicted children's numeracy interest.

methodsThe research comprised in two studies. Study 1 focused on the Turkish adaptation of the Children's Numeracy Interest Scale and evaluated its psychometric properties using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. Study 2 examined whether overall parental math involvement and its domains predicted children's numeracy interest among parents of preschool children. The proposed models were tested using structural equation modeling, with relevant child and family characteristics included as control variables.

resultsThe Turkish version of the Children's Numeracy Interest Scale demonstrated a one-factor structure, good reliability, and acceptable model fit. Parental math involvement was positively associated with children's numeracy interest and was a significant positive predictor in the structural model. When the domains of parental math involvement were examined simultaneously, only Numbers and Operations emerged as a significant positive predictor. Among the control variables, child age was also a significant positive predictor of children's numeracy interest.
