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

Objective: Despite the importance of parental factors in the math anxiety of children, the influence of the interaction between parental involvement and parental math anxiety on the math anxiety of children has not been sufficiently explored. This study is aimed at investigating how parental math anxiety moderates the association of parental involvement with the math anxiety of children. Methods: Data were collected from 450 seventh-grade students and their parents in China, including parental involvement, parental math anxiety and the math anxiety of children. Process Model 1 was used to perform moderated regression analysis. Results: Relationship analysis indicated that mother ( Conclusion: Parental math anxiety moderates the association of parental involvement with the math anxiety of children. Overall, parental involvement is negatively linked to the math anxiety of children (significant main effect). After parental math anxiety was included as a moderator, this negative relationship was present only in the group with high parental math anxiety and was non-significant in the group with low parental math anxiety. This finding poses a challenge to the assumption that "high parental math anxiety is necessarily harmful". Furthermore, this moderating effect was more pronounced among girls.
