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
Introduction: There is an increased call for studies analyzing how implementation quality influences Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) program effectiveness. Methods: The current dissemination study analyzed the effectiveness of the Positive Attitude Upper Middle School SEL program on a Portuguese nationwide sample composed of 813 middle school students (7th and 8th grade; 51.7% boys; Results: Multilevel models were employed, and results showed that participating in the PAUMS SEL program led to more positive trajectories in self-control, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making when compared with control groups. Regarding implementation quality, only the implementer's experience impacted the effectiveness of the PAUMS SEL program; students in the Gulbenkian Academies of Knowledge intervention group displayed a less positive trajectory in self-control than students in the Positive Attitude Torres Vedras intervention group. Discussion: Altogether, results showed that the PAUMS SEL program is ready for dissemination in Portugal, although a higher level of implementer experience is needed to achieve the best effectiveness, and they support the importance of analyzing implementer experience in SEL programs' effectiveness studies.
