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

Introduction: This study uses a person-centered approach to explore Finnish lower-secondary school students' ( Methods: A self-reported questionnaire was used to measure students' mindsets, with latent profile analysis (LPA) identifying distinct profiles. School achievement was assessed through academic grades in core and arts subjects, while gender differences in profile membership were examined via logistic regression. Results: Four mindset profiles emerged: Discussion: The findings highlight the cross-domain nature of mindsets but reveal unique domain-specific variations, particularly for giftedness. These differences influenced academic outcomes, underscoring the nuanced role of mindsets in student achievement. Gender disparities in mindset profiles align with observed differences in school performance. Conclusion: By identifying distinct mindset profiles, this study emphasizes the complexity of students' beliefs and possible educational implications. Future research should explore qualitative aspects of mindset formation across ability-related constructs, its broader motivational frameworks, and their relation to students' academic outcomes.
