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

objectiveDuring late adolescence, adolescents' educational identity may be especially salient as they need to make important decisions regarding their education around the transition from secondary school to tertiary education. The way adolescents shape their identity during this period may have important implications for their academic functioning and psychological well-being.

methodIn the present study, we used four half-yearly measurements of educational identity from 208 Dutch adolescents (M

resultsFindings evidenced some developmental change, generally in the direction of a more mature identity (i.e., lower exploration and self-doubt; transitions toward a status characterized by high commitment, average exploration, and low self-doubt), but also much stability. Furthermore, being in an identity status characterized by low engagement in all three processes was associated with poorer psychological well-being.

conclusionsOur findings emphasize the need to examine identity, especially across identity-salient periods, and highlight important next steps in the pursuit of a better understanding of educational identity in late adolescence.
