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

objectiveThis study aims to examine the relationship between empowering motivational climate in physical education and adolescents' social-emotional competence, and to analyze the chain mediation effect of teacher-student relationship and physical activity level.

methodsA questionnaire survey was conducted with 1,145 adolescents from first-tier (Guangzhou), second-tier (Foshan), and third-tier (Qingyuan) cities in Guangdong Province, using scales measuring empowering motivational climate in physical education, teacher-student relationship, physical activity level, and social-emotional competence. Data were statistically analyzed using IBM SPSS 29.0 and IBM AMOS 26.0 software.

results(1) empowering motivational climate in physical education was positively correlated with social-emotional competence and had a direct predictive effect on it; (2) empowering motivational climate in physical education could indirectly influence adolescents' social-emotional competence through the partial mediating effects of teacher-student relationship and physical activity level; (3) empowering motivational climate in physical education may also indirectly affect adolescents' social-emotional competence through the chain mediation of "teacher-student relationship and physical activity level."

conclusionThe empowering motivational climate in physical education can not only directly predict social-emotional competence but also exert indirect effects through the mediating roles of teacher-student relationship and physical activity level, thereby providing theoretical support and practical evidence for promoting the development of adolescents' social-emotional competence.
