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
Background: Species literacy is an important achievement in biodiversity education. The study analyzed the roles of affective dimension and conservation awareness in shaping species knowledge among prospective biology teacher students, using Methods: This study employs a quantitative research approach using a survey design to examine the relationships among affective dimensions, conservation awareness, and species knowledge. Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) is used to test conceptual models through the mediating role of conservation awareness. The research participants are prospective biology teachers registered in the S1 biology education study program in the provinces of West Nusa Tenggara and East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. A total of 137 respondents from eight public and private universities participated in this study. All items were measured using a five-point Likert scale. Data collection was done online through Google Forms. The affective domain consists of three constructs, namely attention and care, closeness and appreciation, and a sense of responsibility. The construct of species knowledge was developed based on a species literacy framework that focuses on understanding biological characteristics, ecological roles, and the relevance of species conservation in local contexts. Results: The results show that attention and concern have a significant effect on conservation awareness, which in turn contributes to species knowledge. Closeness and appreciation have a direct effect on species knowledge, while a sense of responsibility does not show a significant influence. In addition, conservation awareness has been shown to play a significant role as a mediator between concern and species knowledge. Conclusions: This study highlights that conservation awareness is a key mechanism bridging the affective and cognitive dimensions of species literacy and is important to integrate into the education of prospective biology teachers in the context of local species.
